Long-term Care Quality
To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. In addition to offering very favorable levels of nurse staffing, this nursing home gave the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This statistic is also much better than the majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Short-term Care Quality
An additional reason we assessed this facility so highly is that it was awarded an A+ short-term care score. This is simply as dominant as it gets in this area. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Remarkably, this facility provides its residents with at least 50% more physical therapist hours per week than the average facility. The final datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents that 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 69.6 percent of its patients returning home. At most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Facility Inspections
Amazingly, we also awarded this nursing home yet another A+ in the area of inspections. Our inspection scores weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this category usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. While this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to the fourth category, this facility also performed admirably in our nursing category. We gave it an A- in this area. This completed a straight A profile. Our nursing grade is mostly associated with a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home offers extremely high levels of nursing care, averaging 4.9 hours per patient on a daily basis. This is more nursing care than nearly any other place provides. Finally, this nursing home also performed well in several of the quality measures we assessed. In terms of the number of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, this place performed better than the national average.
