Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home excelled in our short-term care rating, with an impressive grade of A- in this area. In computing our short-term care grades, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to devise a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides a greater volume of physical therapist hours to its residents than the average nursing home. The last measure we assessed in this category is the number of patients who returned home from the nursing home. We found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in Virginia in this area with 59.8 percent of its residents returning home. For most facilities, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Facility Inspections
Inspections is another category where this facility excelled. We gave this facility an B+ for our inspections rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite insignificant. Shockingly, this facility was hit with several category L deficiencies, which is unusual for a facility with an inspection rating of this caliber. This category indicates that CMS found widespread deficiencies placing patient health or safety in immediate jeopardy. Nevertheless, other aspects of this facility's inspection report did give us cause for optimism.
Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of C. We looked at the skill-level of nurses working for the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of time those nurses were with residents, in computing our rating in this category. This facility provided 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grade also includes relevant quality-based metrics. While this place excelled in terms of quantity of nursing hours, it lagged a bit in certain statistics that focused on quality. This nursing home's nursing grade was pulled down by its subpar performance in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers. In fact, we found that 14.1 percent of this nursing home's residents sustained pressure ulcers. Since some pressure ulcers can be avoided with good nursing protocols, we reduce a facility's nursing rating when we see this kind of frequency of pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we scored was long-term care, turned out to be this nursing home's least impressive area. We awarded this facility a D in that area. This really is one of the couple of dings of an otherwise impressive report card. When facilities receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means the facility did not perform well in our quality measures relating to patient care. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 92.30769 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be somewhat less than we anticipated but still a respectable figure. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.13 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
