Bayside Village

Even though we did not rate this facility favorably overall, we want to draw your attention to its relatively favorable short-term care score. We gave it a B+ in this category. Short-term care grades are typically employed to assess a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To provide highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer higher levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients that returned home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

This facility also earned a very impressive nursing grade. This turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we gave this nursing home an B+. Our nursing grade is primarily associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Among this facility's alarming category grades was an F for its inspection grade. More often than not, this means we found some red flags on the facility's inspection reports. When a facility has this poor of an inspection score, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. This particular nursing home was hit with 8 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they posed a risk to resident health or safety. Finally, we want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility was assessed large government fines in recent years amounting to over $100,000. This often means that a nursing home's poor track record has been an issue for more than one year.

The last category we assessed is long-term care, where this facility was given a rock bottom grade in this area also. We gave it a lowly F in this category, which is definitely very concerning. For patients seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is more than the majority of nursing homes. To our surprise, this place also keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
