Symphony Encore

Unfortunately, we gave this facility some really poor grades. Among them were its F for its short-term care grade. In the area of short-term care, we try to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. With its grade in this area, we were not surprised to find that this facility is well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the data we assessed. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Unfortunately, this nursing home received really poor government inspection reports in recent years, causing us to give them an F for inspections. An F in this category is often a signal that we found some major red flags on its government inspection reports. With facilities that received this poor of an inspection score, we recommend scrutinizing the severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This particular facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they posed a threat to resident safety or health. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.

Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. Our nursing rating analyzes many subcategories, however, the primary consideration is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This place fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

The final category we rated was long-term care, in which this facility received an abysmal grade in this category as well. Sadly, it received an abysmal F for this area, which is obviously a major disappointment. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care may not provide the kind of consistent around the clock care that some other nursing homes offer. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 88.77995 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
