Carmi Manor Rehab & Nrsg Center

Neither this place's overall grade nor its category grades gave us much to highlight here. Its best category was long-term care, but even there we gave it a D. For patients looking for a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. After looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 98.89503 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this facility had 2.24 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this figure is not nearly as favorable than its vaccination record.

Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. There are quite a few criteria included in this category. Most of the datapoints reflect levels of nurse staffing. This place offered a meager 3.2 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is an alarmingly low total. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

This facility received a lowly F for its inspection score. This is an important category. Grades in this range usually point to red flags on the facility's government inspection reports. For facilities with bad inspection ratings, you should really focus on any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This facility was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a threat to patient safety or health. Lastly, we also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home received large government fines amounting to over $100,000. This typically suggests that a nursing home's poor track record has been an issue for several years.

The next category we scored is short-term care, where this facility received an abysmal score in this area as well. We gave it an F for this area, which is obviously a major concern. With our short-term care category, we endeavor to craft a valuable measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Based on its score in this category, we were not stunned to find that this nursing home was subpar in terms of its quantity of registered nurse hours provided to its patients. Frankly, this was about what we expected here. The last metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 31.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. This statistic was damning for this facility's short-term care grade.
