Please note our records indicate that Breckenridge Health & Rehabilitation has changed ownership recently and while our data on this page is up-to-date there is a chance that the quality of this facility may change under new management.

Breckenridge Health & Rehabilitation is an average-sized government-owned nursing home located in Sullivan, Indiana. This nursing home was given an uninspiring overall grade of D, which is a relatively poor score. This isn't the worse facility we looked at, but we'd still struggle to recommend it. While this nursing home received suboptimal grades this year, we did want to let you know that there was a recent ownership change. We will keep an eye on their inspections and quality scores to see whether their performance warrants better scores in the future.

Facility Inspections

While we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it a grade of A for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall score. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively minor. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. In spite of this deficiency, this was still a relatively favorable inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

One of this nursing home's more favorable category scores was in the category of short-term care. This turned out to be its second most favorable category. In that category, we gave this nursing home a C. Short-term care ratings are based on the facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well below the national average.

Nurse Quality

We were stunned to find that this nursing home also excelled in the category of nursing. We awarded it an impressive grade of D for that category, which is one of our best grades. The nursing score weighs quite a few subcategories, however, the primary consideration is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

The final area we assessed was long-term care. We gave it a lowly F in this area, which is a poor grade. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it generally means the nursing home didn't perform well in our measures relating to patient care. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 91.30435 percent of its residents. This is slightly less than we expected but still a decent figure. To our surprise, this facility actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
