Bellbrook Health and Rehab

Although we did not rate this facility favorably overall, we want to point out its nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid facilities with too many severe deficiencies flagged. This facility received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This indicates that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies an imminent risk to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

This facility's second best category was nursing, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. The nursing score assesses many factors, but the primary one is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provided a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

This nursing home's second worse category is short-term care, where it received a grade of just D in that category. This is a well below average grade. In the area of short-term care, we strive to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. With a score this poor for this category, we were not stunned to discover that this facility was below average in many staffing metrics we assess. In fact, it supplied substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who eventually returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.

The next category we graded is long-term care. This facility was given a poor grade of F in that area. Facilities that receive this kind of score in this category may not provide the kind of consistent 24/7 care that some other facilities offer. On top of considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 92.07921 percent of its patients, which is slightly lower than we were hoping for. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best score in this category.
