Facility Inspections
To go along with its relatively modest overall score, we awarded this nursing home an A- for our inspections rating. This is far more impressive than the facility's overall rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are relatively minor. While this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a strong grade in our nursing category. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B in this area. In determining our nursing ratings, we look at both staffing levels and the training levels of those nurses. This facility provided 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home Pennsylvania in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a policy of moving a patient at least once a day.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's second lowest category is short-term care, where it received a grade of just D in that category. This is a well below average grade. In forming these short-term care ratings, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to formulate a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Based on its weak grade in this category, we weren't stunned to learn that this nursing home was subpar in terms of its quantity of physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the data we assessed. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 31.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. This statistic was damning for this facility's short-term care grade.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we rated is long-term care, which is a weak spot for this facility. We gave this nursing home a D in long-term care. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. One of the criteria we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 99.649124 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this nursing home also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.84 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
