Short-term Care Quality
In addition to earning a strong overall grade, this facility fared well in our short-term care category. In fact, we awarded it an A for that category, which is one of our best grades. Short-term care grades are based on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. This nursing home provided more physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. This is what we like to find when assessing a nursing home in this category. The final measure we assessed in this area is the number of residents that ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that it fared as well as just about any facility in Maryland in this area with 66.4 percent of its residents returning home.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this nursing home earned top notch inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better grades in that category, with an A-. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to resident health or safety. A couple minor dings are not necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. Nursing scores are primarily tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we assessed was long-term care. We awarded this facility a solid grade in that area, with a C. Although this was not as strong as many of its other grades, it is nevertheless not a bad grade. For prospective residents in need of a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. This place keeps its patients out of the hospital. Although it had 2.79 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was better than most facilities since it had more complex patients.
