Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of performing well in its overall grade, this nursing home performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A+. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

An additional strong feature for this facility is that it received a favorable long-term care score. Indeed, this turned out to be its second best category score. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+. For residents looking for a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 92.88256 percent of its patients. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third category we graded was short-term care, where this nursing home received a B- in this area. Our short-term care grades are likely most critical for residents in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional skilled nursing services. This includes not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this nursing home provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 5.2 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Turning to the last area, this facility received a C in nursing, which is generally an acceptable rating. Our nursing rating weighs several components, most of which are associated with quantities of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, we look at quality-based metrics, such as the percent of patients who suffered pressure ulcers and major falls. These statistics are indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Carolina Rivers Nursing and Rehabilitation Center Quality Metrics

Minimizes Pressure Ulcers

Grade: B

In Carolina Rivers Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, 7.48% of Patients had Pressure Ulcers

Minimizes Serious Falls

Grade: B-minus

In Carolina Rivers Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, 3.91% of Patients had Serious Falls

This is an indication of the percent of long-term patients who experienced a fall leading to major injury. Falls can happen for a variety of reasons, but high rates of major falls may be an indicator of poor nursing care.

Minimizes Urinary Tract Infections

Grade: B

In Carolina Rivers Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, 1.87% of Patients had UTIs

This is the percent of residents that have had a urinary tract infection. Urinary tract infections are often linked to facilities with lower levels of hygiene. Closer supervision can reduce the number of UTI's sustained by residents in a nursing home. We want to point out that this statistic is sometimes skewed by the fact that nursing homes have different reporting standards for these infections.

Grade: A

In Carolina Rivers Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, 5.68% of Patients use Anti-Psychotic Medication

In limited situations, excessive reliance on these medications may suggest a facility is using these medications to subdue residents.
