Heritage Green Rehab & Skilled Nursing is a large non-profit facility in Greenhurst, New York. It looks like this facility is a lower end facility. A grade of this caliber suggests we found a few red flags. This isn't the worse place we found, however, we'd still be very reluctant to recommend it. The only positive thing we can say about this place is that it did not receive any F's in in any of the major categories. More information about its category grades can be found below.

Facility Inspections

While we did not rate this facility favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively solid health inspections in recent years. We gave it a respectable grade of B in this area, which is much better than its overall score. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.

Long-term Care Quality

This nursing home also was awarded a strong grade in our long-term care category. We gave this facility a better than average grade of B in that area. When nursing homes receive this type of score in this category it is a good sign for resident care and indicates that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses aids. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 94.76584 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Moving on to the area of short-term care, this facility received just a D in that area. In computing our short-term care ratings, we analyze the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. This area is frequently a useful assessment of a nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. With a score this poor in this category, we weren't stunned to find that this facility was well below average in multiple staffing areas we focus on. The facility offered far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.

Nurse Quality

Switching gears to our fourth area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D in nursing. This was the facility's least impressive category grade. Our nursing score weighs several data points, many of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
