Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this place ended up being a quality nursing home is it earned an A+ inspection grade. This is just about as good as it gets in this critical category. Our inspection scores account for several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area generally have few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
In addition, this nursing home received high marks in the area of short-term care. For this reason, it received one of our best grades in that category with a grade of A+. Short-term care scores are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a vast scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. This nursing home excelled at the highest level in two key staffing areas we looked at. In fact, it offered about 50% more care from registered nurses and physical therapists than a typical nursing home. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that it performed as well as just about any facility in New York in this area with 70.7 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, at most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A. There are numerous datapoints included in this area. Many of these datapoints reflect the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This facility provided 5.5 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This was one of the higher figures we found. Furthermore, we found that a significant percentage of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. These are both really impressive figures. On top of offering high levels of care, this place also excelled in the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed as well as any facility in New York in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we graded is long-term care, where this facility received a grade of B. This actually is this nursing home's least impressive category. A nursing home could be doing a lot worse when it's weakest score still is better than most other nursing homes. Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are kept in good health. In addition to offering well above average levels of nurse staffing, this facility gave the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This figure is also far higher than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
