All Saints Healthcare Subacute

While we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a B for our nursing rating. Our nursing rating analyzes the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of skill of the nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided 0.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

This facility received its next highest category score in the category of long-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of C in this category, which is a decent grade. Our long-term care scores are more critical for those requiring more conventional assistance related to activities of daily living. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 97.27273 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is more than most nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

The third category we looked at was short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a decent grade of C. Our short-term care grade is commonly used to judge a facility's performance with rehabilitation In order to offer good rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer better levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. In fact, it offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Unfortunately, this nursing home did not receive a favorable inspection grade. We gave it a just D in this category. Inspection ratings relate to a facility's inspections. Inspection scores weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection report. Generally, you should be more cautious when considering a facility that has severe deficiencies on its inspection reports. This facility was assessed 6 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they caused a risk to patient health or safety. Finally, we also would like to point out that this facility received large government fines recently amounting to more than $100,000. This generally signifies that a bad track record spanned more than one year.
