Complete Care at Arbors

While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively minor. While this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

This nursing home's next highest area was long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C. With our long-term care score, we look at the quantity of care offered by a facility, as well as some qualitative measures. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 79.230774 percent of its residents for pneumonia. On a more positive note, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of C. There are numerous subcategories included in this grade. Most of the factors are tied to staffing levels. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. It performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care offered.

The next area we rated is short-term care, which was this facility's worst area. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this area, which is clearly a major concern. Our short-term care grade is typically employed to assess a facility's rehabilitation services. To have high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to provide better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. Based on its grade in this category, we were not stunned to discover that this place was well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the measures we looked at. The last measure we considered in this area is the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.4 percent of its patients returning home.
