Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this nursing home also received excellent government inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our highest scores in that area, with an A. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
To complement its strong performance in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a score of A for its short-term care grade. Our short-term care grades are crucial for residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a wide range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. One of this nursing home's strengths is registered nurse hours. We found that it offers more care from registered nurses to its residents than most facilities. The final datapoint we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that it performed as well as just about any facility in Pennsylvania in this area with 56.5 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
Another strong feature for this facility is that it received an impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B+. We weighed the skill-level of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses spent with patients, in calculating our grade in this category. This facility provided 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these statistics as reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care offered, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
The fourth area we rated was long-term care, where this facility was awarded a grade of B+. This rounded out a very favorable report card. Only a select few nursing homes received a B+ or better in each of our categories. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 97.48954 percent of its residents. This is a proven method to avoid negative health outcomes for the nursing home population. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
