Bayview Manor

To pair with its relatively modest overall score, we awarded this facility an A for its inspection grade. This grade is far better than the facility's overall score. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. This particular nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

An additional strength of this facility is its strong score in long-term care. We awarded it one of our better scores in that area, with a score of A-. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in this category it is typically a good sign for resident care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 99.42966 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a proven method to avoid unnecessary deaths for the nursing home population. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping 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 figure.

Turning to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing score. We gave this nursing home an impressive grade of D. There are several factors within this area. Most of the datapoints reflect the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This place fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these datapoints to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

The final area we analyzed was short-term care, proved to be this facility's weakest category. We gave this nursing home a D in this area. This really is one of the couple of dings on a quality profile. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Unfortunately, we learned that this nursing home provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we considered the number of residents who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
