Long-term Care Quality
We also found that this facility excelled in our long-term care rating. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in this category it is a good sign for resident care and indicates that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a reliable method to minimize unnecessary deaths for the elderly population. The last statistic we assessed is its hospitalization rate. Here we found that this nursing home had 3.89 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Although this admittedly wasn't as strong as some of its other scores in this area, this number may be skewed for some nursing homes based on the preexisting medical conditions of residents.
Facility Inspections
This facility has received near flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
This facility received a very good nursing grade this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B+. The nursing rating assesses many subcategories, many of which are based on nursing hours. This nursing home provides an impressive 3.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, this facility also excelled in several quality measures we assessed. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility West Virginia in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we rated is short-term care, in which this nursing home was awarded a C. Although this wound up being its least impressive category rating, this is still not a bad grade. Short-term care grades are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The final metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 36.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
