Aurora Manor Special Care Cent

To pair with its relatively modest overall grade, we gave this nursing home an A+ for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall rating. Our inspection ratings are tied to several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this area have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies an immediate threat to patient safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Another one of this facility's more impressive category grades came in the category of short-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of B. It actually fared better than most nursing homes in this area. Our short-term care grade is commonly used to measure a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally must feature higher levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this nursing home submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 6.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Our third category we assessed was long-term care, where this nursing home was given an F. Nursing homes that do not fare well in this category typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 91.034485 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which happens to be slightly less than we expected but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best score in this category.

Switching gears to our last category, this nursing home really did not perform very well. With a rock bottom grade of F in nursing, this is this nursing home's worst category grade. The nursing rating analyzes quite a few data points, many of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. With a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, this place's nurse staffing levels were quite a bit below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
