Short-term Care Quality
We also found that this nursing home excelled in our short-term care rating. We gave them an A+ in this area. In the category of short-term care, we try to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. This facility excelled in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It offered more care from physical therapists and registered nurses than the average nursing home. This is generally an excellent sign. The last datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that it fared as well as just about any facility in Virginia in this area with 67 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of A. Our nursing grade is based on numerous subcategories. The most important one is the number of hours nurses spend with residents. This place provides an incredible 5.1 hours of nursing care per patient per day. Out of this total, many of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the more highly trained levels of nurses. In addition to looking at levels of nursing care, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these statistics as reliable measures of the caliber of nursing care offered, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Facility Inspections
Racking up yet another strong category grade, this facility also excelled in inspections, where it earned an A. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed was long-term care, which is a weak spot for this nursing home. We gave this nursing home a grade of D for the area of long-term care, rendering this the facility's weakest grade. We'd still recommend that you consider all of a facility's category grades. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. This facility's vaccination records were a bit weaker than a few of the other data points in this area, such as its nursing hours data. It administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 46.511623 percent of its residents. We would like to see some improvement herein this statistic in the future. To our surprise, this place was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 1.12 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
