Baypoint Healthcare Center

While we did not rate this facility well overall, we want to note its decent grade of B- for short-term care. This isn't a bad grade In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. This nursing home provides more services with physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is usually a favorable sign. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below average.

One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. In that category, we awarded this nursing home an C. We analyzed the levels of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the number of hours those nurses worked with patients, in calculating our score in this category. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often an indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place.

This nursing home's third most favorable category was long-term care. We awarded it a C in this category. This is basically a slightly below average score in this area. In the area of long-term care, we assess the quantity of care offered by a nursing home, rather than more medically-intensive services. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 91.37931 percent of its residents. This is somewhat below what we expected but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Nevertheless, this place keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Unfortunately, this facility did not receive a favorable inspection rating. We gave it a grade of just just D in this category. Inspection grades relate to a facility's government inspection reports. We weight poor inspection grades heavily in our assessment. Since government inspections are completed by independent government inspectors, we consider this information to be reliable. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. This particular nursing home had 4 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility also received 4 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
