Hampton Woods Nursing Center

In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ inspection score. This score is based on its recent inspection reports. An A+ in this area is one of the best complements we can pay to a nursing home. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being quite insignificant. This facility received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an immediate threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This nursing home fared well in our long-term care category. In fact, we gave it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our better scores. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are kept in good health. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 98.924736 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

In addition, this nursing home also was given favorable short-term care scores this year. Indeed, we gave it one of our higher scores in that area, with a grade of B. Our short-term care grades are based on the facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a broad range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not look like this facility submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The last statistic we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

The last category we graded is nursing. We awarded this nursing home an acceptable grade in this area, with a grade of C. While this is not as strong as some of its other scores, it is still not a poor grade. The nursing rating considers numerous subcategories. The most important one is the number of hours nurses spend with patients. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, while this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of our quality metrics. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it did well in this metric.
