Facility Inspections
To pair with its strong overall score, we gave this facility an A+ for our inspections rating. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this area tend to have few severe deficiencies. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, this facility also was given favorable long-term care grades this year. Indeed, we gave it one of our better scores in that category, with a grade of B+. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 98.5623 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to our third area, this facility also received a grade of B for its short-term care rating. This is a well above average grade in this area. In determining our short-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. This category is often a fair assessment of a nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. The final measure we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the nursing home. This place performed as well as just about any facility in New York in this area with 61.2 percent of its patients returning home. With most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Nurse Quality
The final category we graded was nursing. We awarded this nursing home a D for our nursing category, rendering this the nursing home's least impressive category grade. Our nursing rating is based on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of training of the nurses and the number of hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below the national average. While this place didn't excel in the area of nursing hours, it actually surprised us in some of the quality-based assessments in the nursing category, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed above average in this metric, which was one redeeming quality we found in this category.
