Landmark of Rayne

The main reason this facility received a decent overall grade is its excellent inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our better grades in that area, with an A. This is a much better score than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but certainly not elite. Our inspection ratings are tied to several datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this area typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like we have deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This nursing home also performed well in the category of long-term care, where it received a score of A. Not many facilities performed more favorably in this category. When facilities receive this type of score in this category it is typically a good sign for patient care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses and aids. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 97.916664 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is often a deadly ailment for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Another strength of this facility is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with an impressive grade of D. Nursing ratings are tied to nurse staffing levels. With just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily, this facility's nurse staffing levels were significantly below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these datapoints to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.

The next category we assessed was short-term care. We gave this facility a grade of D for our short-term care category, rendering this its worst area. Our short-term care grades are crucial for residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a wide range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the measures we considered. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 5.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
