Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

The primary reason this nursing home received a decent overall score is its impeccable inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better grades in that area, with an A-. This is a notably better score than the place's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's second most favorable category is its short-term care grade, where it received a grade of B-. Our short-term care grades are important for people in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The key is determining what effect this had on quality of care. The final datapoint we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 5.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next most favorable area ended up being long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home gave the vaccine to just 86.25 percent of its patients. Nevertheless, this nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The last category we scored is nursing, which was a low point for this facility. We awarded this facility a grade of just D in the area of nursing. Our nursing score is based on a host of data points. The most important variable is the amount of time nurses spend with residents. This place offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is not a very impressive figure. In addition to its weak nursing hour totals, this facility received poor scores in many of the quality-based metrics we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We found that a higher percentage of this facility's residents sustained falls leading to serious injury.

Grade: B

In Appomattox Health and Rehabilitaton Center, 12.22% of Patients

This metric tracks the number of emergency room visits per 1,000 days of short-term care. Staying out of the emergency room is one way to measure the well-being of patients during rehabilitation.
