Anberry Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

Anberry Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is an average-sized nursing home located in Atwater, California. This nursing home received an overall grade of D, which is a relatively poor score. As far as we can see, we would be very reluctant to recommend this nursing home. More information on this facility's category grades may be found below. Its best category was nursing, which is discussed in the next section.

Although we did not rate this facility well overall, we want to point out its decent grade of B- in the category of nursing. Our nursing grade considers a number of datapoints. The most important variable is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. This particular nursing home provided 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing scores also include quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed above average in this area.

This facility's long-term care grade is one of its more favorable scores. The facility was given a B- in this area. Our long-term care scores are more important for individuals needing more conventional assistance associated with activities of daily living. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 99.18256 percent of its residents. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Although it had 1.74 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic was better than the majority of nursing homes since it had more complicated patients.

The third most favorable area we awarded this nursing home in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of C. With our short-term care rating, we attempt to forge a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze the facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The tricky part is determining what effect this had on quality of care. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. This place performed well in this metric with 57.6 percent of its patients returning home.

The last category we assessed is inspections. The facility received a grade of C in this category. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially focus on the severity of the deficiencies. This place was hit with 4 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but fortunately none were category G through L deficiencies. This indicates that this facility dodged the more ominous categories of deficiencies. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.
