Nurse Quality
In addition to being a quality nursing home overall, this nursing home really excelled in nursing, where it received a grade of A-. When calculating our nursing grades, we analyze both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place Pennsylvania in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by having a policy of turning a resident more often.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also earned excellent health inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better scores in that category, with a grade of A-. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This indicates that the inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to be an imminent risk to resident health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home performed well in the category of short-term care as well. In fact, we awarded it a score of A- for that category, which happens to be one of our better grades. In the area of short-term care, we strive to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. This facility provided more registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. This is what we like to find when assessing a nursing home in this category. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that it outperformed the majority of nursing homes in the country with 51.2 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we graded was long-term care, in which this facility received a B-. This was this nursing home's weakest area. This is nevertheless not a bad grade. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care ratings. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 98.09524 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is more than the average nursing home. Lastly, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. We found that this place had 3.81 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. While this figure is somewhat concerning, this number may be skewed for some facilities due to the preexisting medical conditions of patients.
