Beavercreek Health and Rehab

Beavercreek Health and Rehab is an average-sized nursing home located in Dayton, Ohio. We gave this facility an F, which is just about as bad as it gets in our grading scheme. As far as we can see, you would be better off to avoid of this facility. More information on this facility's category grades may be found below. Its best category was short-term care, which is addressed in the next paragraph.

Neither this facility's overall grade nor its category grades gave us anything positive to point out. Its best category was short-term care, but even there it received just a D. This is still a weak score. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Considering its grade in this category, we weren't stunned to find that this facility is well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we looked at. Honestly, this was what we expected here. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We were surprised to find that it performed better in this area, with 52.3 percent of its patients returning home. This was just about this nursing home's sole highlight in this category.

Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. Nursing scores are largely tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. To pair with its below average totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this nursing home had bad marks in many of the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing ratings. For starters, we looked at the percent of residents experiencing falls which led to major injury. This facility was at more than 150 percent of the national average in this statistic. This is quite alarming in light of the fact that many falls could likely be avoided with better nursing care. This ended up sealing the nursing home's fate of earning a poor nursing score.

We wanted to draw your attention to this place's inspection rating where it received an F. When a nursing home has this bad of an inspection grade, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This nursing home had one category J or K deficiency, which are among the worst deficiencies. Finally, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility was assessed large government fines recently of over $50,000. This generally indicates that government inspectors became frustrated after several years of failed health inspections.

The next area we graded was long-term care. It received an F for this area, which is a poor score. When facilities receive a score in this range in long-term care it typically means the facility did not perform well in our measures relating to resident care. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home provided the vaccine to a relatively low 72.57384 percent of its patients. Lastly, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. We found that this place had 2.14 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this figure is also concerning.
