Abbotts Creek Center

In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this place also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A-. Few facilities performed better in this category. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this area generally have few severe deficiencies. This place received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to create an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.

Additionally, we also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received positive short-term care marks this year. We gave them one of our more impressive grades in that area, with a B+. This turned out to be the facility's second strongest grade. Our short-term care scores are important for residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional skilled nursing services. This includes a wide range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. We weren't able to track down information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 6.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of B-. The nursing grade consists of many components, many of which are associated with nursing hours. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is a very low figure. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often an indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place.

This facility's weakest area is long-term care, which is the last category we scored. It received a lowly F in this area. In spite of some acceptable grades in other categories, this score is nevertheless disappointing so we would like to to point it out. Long-term care ratings in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 91.37931 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which happens to be somewhat below what we expected but still a decent figure. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
