Inspection grades weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. While this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This nursing home's vaccination records were a bit weaker than some of the other datapoints in this category, such as its nursing hours. This nursing home gave the pneumonia vaccine to just 90.38462 percent of its patients. We'd like to see some improvement herein this statistic in the future. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, we were pleased to find place was able to limit hospitalizations.

A significant percentage of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the most highly skilled levels of nurses. We are very impressed by these statistics. On top of offering impressive levels of nursing care, this nursing home also excelled in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place New York in this category. This is generally an indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls. Many pressure ulcers can be prevented by providing better nursing care and a policy of moving patients more often.
Short-term Care Quality
In our last category, we gave this nursing home an A+ for its short-term care rating. This rounded out a very favorable report card. With our short-term care rating, we strive to forge a sound barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at the facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides more care with registered nurses to its residents than the average nursing home. Finally, we looked at the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
