Facility Inspections
While we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it actually earned a relatively impressive inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our better scores in that area with a B. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. It is typically in your best interest to avoid nursing homes that have a long list of severe deficiencies. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the category of long-term care, this facility was awarded a grade of just D in that area. As it turns out, this wound up being one of its better grades. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in long-term care it is often a bad sign for patient care and it may indicate that the place is not as well-staffed. After we finished looking at the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. We were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated a relatively low 90.625 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
Does this page answer your questions about Huntington Health and Rehabilitation Center?
Nurse Quality
We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating. We scrutinized the skill-level of nurses employed by the nursing home, as well as the quantity of hours the nurses worked with residents, in calculating our score in this category. With just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day, this facility's nurse staffing levels were quite a bit below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This place performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these metrics to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we rated was short-term care, where this facility was given a poor grade in this area as well. We gave it a lowly F in this area, which is obviously very concerning. Our short-term care ratings are believed to be more meaningful for individuals in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. With a score of this caliber for this area, we weren't stunned to learn this facility was below average in several staffing areas we focus on. In fact, it offered significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most nursing homes. The last measure we considered in this area is the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 3.3 percent of its patients returning home.
