Facility Inspections

Grade: B

Although this place's overall score was not a highlight, it actually received a very good score in the category of inspections. In fact, we gave it a B for that area, which is one of our better grades. Inspection ratings are tied to many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these inspections. You should especially avoid facilities with severe deficiencies linked to risks to resident well being. While this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of this facility's higher category scores came in the area of long-term care. This proved to be its second most favorable category. In that category, we gave this facility a B-. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 97.16312 percent of its patients, which is more than most nursing homes. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. There are a number of factors included in this category. Many of these criteria are tied to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. With a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were far below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This place fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these metrics to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next category we rated is short-term care. It received a lowly F for this category, which is a rock bottom grade. Our short-term care scores are important for prospective residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a broad spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Based on its poor rating in this area, we weren't surprised to learn that this nursing home provides far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

In The Summit, 15.7% of Patients use Anti-Psychotic Medication
