Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

On top of earning a strong overall score, this facility performed well in short-term care. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that category. In the area of short-term care, we strive to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 5.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Adding to its impressive category grades, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+ for our inspections rating. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This means that 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 relatively minor deficiencies are not necessarily something to panic about.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next highest grade we gave this nursing home came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. This wasn't quite as good as some of its other scores, but a grade in this range is not the end of the world. There are a number of subcategories within this area. Many of these subcategories reflect the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This figure is far below average. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The last category we graded was long-term care. For that category, we gave this facility a grade of C. In the category of long-term care, we analyze the amount of care offered by a nursing home, as opposed to more sophisticated services. One of the criteria we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 99.52494 percent of its residents. This facility also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Heritage Center Quality Metrics

Minimizes Pressure Ulcers

Grade: B-plus

In Heritage Center, 7.36% of Patients had Pressure Ulcers

This tells you the percentage of residents who sustained a pressure ulcer. Pressure ulcers, also called bed sores, are often the result of patients not being moved frequently enough. Better nursing care minimizes the percentage of residents in a nursing home who sustain pressure ulcers.

Minimizes Serious Falls

Grade: D

In Heritage Center, 4.17% of Patients had Serious Falls

This tells you the percentage of patients that have had a major fall. Falls leading to major injury are considered to be a measure of nursing care at a nursing home. Falls resulting in injury are routinely the result of poor nursing care.

Minimizes Urinary Tract Infections

Grade: B-minus

In Heritage Center, 1.69% of Patients had UTIs

This is the percent of residents that have had a urinary tract infection. UTI's are routinely linked to nursing homes with worse hygiene protocols. More frequent bathing can minimize the number of UTI's sustained by residents in a nursing home.

Appropriately Uses Anti-Psychotic Medication

Grade: B

In Heritage Center, 13.33% of Patients use Anti-Psychotic Medication

This statistic tells you the percentage of long-term care patients who were prescribed antipsychotic drugs. Excessive reliance on these medications may suggest that a facility is using these medications to subdue residents in scenarios where such drugs aren't medically required. However, some nursing homes need to rely on these medications due to having more patients suffering from cognitive disorders.

Appropriately Uses Anti-Anxiety Medication

Grade: D

In Heritage Center, 22.6% of Patients use Anti-Anxiety Medication

This figure is an indication of the percentage of long-term stay patients that are prescribed antianxiety drugs. These drugs are given to patients suffering from depression or anxiety.
