Campion Health & Wellness is in Weston, Massachusetts. The city has 11,261 people. After receiving an A+ overall grade, this facility has the distinction of being one of the top 50 nursing homes in Massachusetts. Based on all of the relevant data, you can't go wrong with this place. Headlining this nursing home's exemplary profile is its inspection rating, which is addressed in the next section.

In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this nursing home also earned an A+ inspection grade. This score is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. An A+ in this category is one of the best complements we can pay to a facility. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. While this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Adding to its strong profile, this nursing home also performed well in our short-term care area. In fact, we gave it a score of A for the category. In determining our short-term care scores, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to devise a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. This nursing home is the gold standard in terms of skilled nursing staffing. The facility supplied about 1.5 times as many physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the average nursing home. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 44.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A in that category. Our nursing rating includes many datapoints. The most heavily weighted factor is the quantity of hours nurses spent with patients. This facility provided 7.2 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This was one of the highest totals we found. In addition, we found that a significant percentage of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. On top of providing high levels of care, this nursing home also performed well in many of the quality measures we looked at. For example, in terms of the number of its patients suffering falls which lead to serious injury, this facility outpaced the national average. This is often a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

In our final area, this nursing home also was awarded a very strong long-term care score, with a grade of A. This finished off a straight A profile. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. On top of providing very favorable levels of nurse staffing, this facility gave the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This statistic is also far better than most nursing homes. This combination proved to be successful as this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 1.54 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
