Facility Inspections
In addition to being a first rate facility overall, this nursing home also performed well in our inspections category, where it earned an A+. Very few places fared this well in this category. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. 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 an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also want to emphasize the fact that this nursing home received a strong grade of A- in our long-term care category. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to considering the elite level of care provided by nurses aids and other staff at this nursing home, we also were happy with the nursing home's record for vaccinations. By way of example, this facility gave the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is what we like to see. This combination proved to be successful as this facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.52 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- in that category. We analyzed the skill-level of nurses employed by the nursing home, as well as the quantity of time the nurses worked with residents, in calculating our rating in this area. This place provides an incredible 4.1 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Out of this total, many of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the more highly trained levels of nurses. On top of offering high levels of nursing care, this place also excelled in several of the quality measures we assessed. With under 5 percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared as well as any facility Pennsylvania in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we looked at was short-term care, where this nursing home was given a grade of B+. This finished off an elite profile. Not many facilities earned a B+ or higher in each of our categories. In our short-term care score, we attempt to craft a fair measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze the facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. This nursing home elevated its grade in this category by offering more care from registered nurses to its residents than the average facility. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents that were able to return home from this facility. We found that 40.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
