Bayside Village

Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B+ for our nursing rating. Our nursing category analyzes several subcategories, many of which are tied to nursing hours. This nursing home averages 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

This nursing home also didn't fare poorly in the area of short-term care. Indeed, we gave it a C in that category, which turned out to be among its more favorable grades. With our short-term care assessment, we seek to craft a sound measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze a facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its level of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 3.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.

In our next category, we gave this facility a rock-bottom F in the area of long-term care. If you are looking for services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinates 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.

Turning our last category of inspections, this nursing home received an F here. We would advise paying special attention to any deficiencies on a facility's inspection reports when it receives this poor of an inspection rating. We would pay close attention to the level of severity of those deficiencies. This particular nursing home was hit with 8 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they created a threat to resident health or safety. Lastly, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received large government fines of over $100,000. This generally suggests that a nursing home's poor performance spanned several years.
