Aperion Care Marseilles

Neither this place's overall grade nor its category scores gave us anything positive to point out. Its best category was short-term care, but even there it received a D. In crafting our short-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to formulate a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Not surprisingly, we discovered that this place offers significantly less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the typical facility. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the number of residents that returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home. This was well below average.

We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating and that actually turned out to be its second highest score. Our nursing score is primarily based on a facility's nurse staffing. This particular place offered a meager 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This figure is quite a bit below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This place performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Sadly, this facility received a grade of just D in our inspection category. This is well below average grade. Our inspection ratings factor in many items on the nursing home's inspection reports. When you see severe deficiencies on the inspection reports, this is typically the worst sign. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. This particular facility had 5 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they created a threat to patient safety or health. Lastly, we also want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility was assessed significant government fines recently amounting to more than $100,000. This generally suggests that a poor performance spanned several years.

The final category we rated is long-term care, where this nursing home received a very poor grade here as well. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this area, which is obviously very concerning. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. On top of considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 98.36066 percent of its residents, which is higher than the average nursing home. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
