Yorktown Manor

Although we did not rate this nursing home highly overall, we want to draw your attention to its nearly flawless inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Inspection ratings are based on pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these reports. You should especially avoid facilities with severe deficiencies associated with risks to resident well being. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

One of this nursing home's better category grades was in the area of long-term care. This wound up being its second best category. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C. In calculating our long-term care grades, we size up the assistance with daily living received by the facility's patients. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to find that this facility vaccinated 94.08867 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

As it turns out, this facility only earned a grade of D for its short-term care grade, which is not a score to write home about. Our short-term care grade is commonly used to measure a facility's rehabilitation services In order to have quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to feature better levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. Based on its grade in this area, we were not surprised to discover that this facility is well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the data we assessed. Frankly, this was what we expected to find. The final item we considered in this category is the number of residents who returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home.

The final category we looked at is nursing, where this facility was given a poor score in this category also. It received an abysmal F for this category, which is obviously somewhat alarming. The nursing grade consists of a handful of components, many of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This place offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This facility fared well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
