Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While we gave this facility a bad overall rating, we gave it a fairly respectable grade in the area of inspections, where it received a B-. This was quite a bit better than its other categories. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be relatively minor. This nursing home was hit with 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to be an immediate threat to patient health or safety. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The second highest category we awarded this nursing home in any category came in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a C. In our short-term care category, we strive to craft a fair barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the average facility. The last measure we assessed in this area is the number of residents that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. This figure was below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. There are quite a few criteria included in this grade. Most of the subcategories relate to nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is well below average. Lastly, nursing ratings also consider quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this place performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often an indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses to assist its residents.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Our last category is long-term care, where we gave this facility a grade of C in this category. With our long-term care category, we focus more on the volume of care offered by a nursing home, as well as a handful of qualitative data points. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 91.41791 percent of its residents. Nevertheless, this nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Cardinal Nursing and Rehabilitation Center Quality Metrics

Minimizes Serious Falls

Grade: B-plus

In Cardinal Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, 9.78% of Patients use Anti-Psychotic Medication

In some situations, increased usage of these drugs may suggest that a facility is using these medications to control patient behavior.
