Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While we gave this nursing home a poor overall score, we actually gave it a fairly respectable score in the category of inspections, where we gave it a B-. This was certainly better than its other category grades. Inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Although this place had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of B-. Our nursing rating is based on a handful of subcategories, many of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, nursing grades also factor in quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically a reliable indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses aids to assist its patients.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home was awarded its next best category score in the category of short-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of B- in this area, which is a reasonably acceptable score. In our short-term care assessment, we attempt to craft a valuable measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess the nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. The final datapoint we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Our next area is long-term care, where we gave this facility a grade of B- in that category. With our long-term care grade, we look at the sheer quantity of services offered by a facility, along with some qualitative measures. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is a very respectable total. This place keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Westbrook Acres Quality Metrics

Minimizes Pressure Ulcers

Grade: A

In Westbrook Acres, 3.8% of Patients had Pressure Ulcers

This is the percentage of residents that suffered from a pressure ulcer. Pressure ulcers are considered by many in the nursing home industry to be a measure of nursing care at a nursing home.

Minimizes Serious Falls

Grade: B

In Westbrook Acres, 3.28% of Patients had Serious Falls

This tells you the percent of residents that have had a major fall. Falls resulting in major injuries are routinely the result of lower quality nursing care. Better nursing care can minimize the number of major falls sustained by residents in a nursing home.

Grade: D

In Westbrook Acres, 5.06% of Patients had UTIs

This indicates the percentage of long-term residents who have sustained UTI's. UTI's may be an indication of poor nursing care. Nevertheless, this datapoint could also be misleading for certain nursing homes due to different reporting standards for these infections.

Grade: C

In Westbrook Acres, 18.44% of Patients use Anti-Psychotic Medication

This figure tells you the percentage of long-term residents which were prescribed antipsychotic drugs.

In Westbrook Acres, 24.71% of Patients use Anti-Anxiety Medication
