Facility Inspections
We also would like to emphasize that this nursing home has received excellent government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A in this category. Inspection ratings are tied to several pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this category typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
Compounding its top-shelf assessments in other areas, we awarded this facility a score of A- for its short-term care grade. With our short-term care assessment, we attempt to forge a sound gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. The last metric we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. It performed as well as just about any facility in West Virginia in this area with 57.3 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, at most facilities, less than half of their short-stay residents return home.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, this facility also was awarded favorable long-term care grades in our assessment. Indeed, we awarded them one of our better scores in that category, with a grade of B+. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure residents are well cared for. After assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 96.0114 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. Lastly, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. With 1.98 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home is close to average in this area.
Nurse Quality
The final area we assessed ended up being this facility's worst category. However, even its lowest point would be a strength for many facilities. We awarded it a strong grade of B for nursing. Our nursing category is based on quite a few components, most of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This particular facility provided 4.8 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, which was among the highest totals we found. Lastly, we also looked at nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these areas as good measures of the caliber of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
