Admiral's Pointe Nursing and Rehabilitation

Admiral's Pointe Nursing and Rehabilitation is an average-sized nursing home located in Huron, Ohio. Featuring an overall score of C, this appears to be a decent facility. Based on our analysis, this facility has some redeeming qualities. We were also pleased to discover that this place was consistent in all of the major categories. More information about these categories is available below.

The main reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it received an excellent inspection score. In fact, its inspection grade was far better than its overall grade. In our inspections category, we gave it an A+. Inspection grades account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this category typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. This facility received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

This nursing home's second most favorable category is long-term care. We gave it a B- in this category. This is basically a slightly below average grade in this category. Long-term care grades are commonly used to grade a facility's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services offered by a skilled nursing facility. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility gave the vaccine to 98.90909 percent of its patients, which is an above average statistic. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. While it had 1.9 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was better than the majority of nursing homes due to it having some more complicated patients.

The next category we assessed was short-term care, where this facility was awarded a C in this category. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The more important thing is determining what effect this had on quality of care. The last measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home performed better in this statistic. We found that it performed better than most nursing homes in this area with 49.7 percent of its patients returning home.

The final area we looked at is nursing. This nursing home was given a C in this category. Our nursing rating is based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of training of the nurses and the quantity of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provided just 3.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This figure is far below the national average. Lastly, our nursing ratings also factor in quality-based assessments, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this nursing home performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically a good indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses to assist its residents.
