Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
Although we didn't grade this facility favorably overall, we did give it an excellent grade in the area of inspections, where it earned an A-. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. It is typically best to avoid facilities that have a long list of deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to be an imminent risk to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's next most favorable area is short-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of C. Our short-term care grades are important for residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more skilled nursing. This includes a wide range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The real question is whether this adversely affected quality of care. The final datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 5.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Does this page answer your questions about Abbotts Creek Center?
Nurse Quality
We were surprised to find that this facility also excelled in the category of nursing. In fact, we gave it a score of D for that category, which is one of our highest grades. Nursing grades are heavily correlated with quality and quantity of nursing care. 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. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these statistics to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we analyzed was long-term care. We gave it an F for this area, which is an abysmal grade. Long-term care ratings in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. After assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated 89.385475 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is several points below what we expected. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
