Facility Inspections
On top of faring well overall, this nursing home also earned a nearly flawless inspection report. Therefore, it earned one of our highest scores in that category with an A+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are relatively minor. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility was awarded strong scores in the area of short-term care as well. As a result, we gave it one of our most superb scores in that category with a area of A-. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides a greater volume of physical therapist hours to its residents than the average nursing home. The last measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in New York in this area with 60.6 percent of its patients returning home. At most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, this nursing home also received favorable long-term care grades this year. Indeed, we gave them one of our better grades in that area, with a grade of B+. Nursing homes that do well in this category typically provide residents with more supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. After we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 96.370964 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly is often a dangerous illness for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility does not roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.16 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
The final area we rated turned out to be this facility's poorest area. Nevertheless, even in its weakest link we still gave it a decent grade of B- in nursing. In determining our nursing scores, we weigh both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of those nurses. Based on the CMS data, this nursing home offers 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these statistics. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared well in this subcategory. This is usually a reliable indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by having a policy of moving patients more often.
