Cedarburg Health Services

On top of earning a great overall grade, this facility really excelled in the category of nursing, where it received a grade of A. There are a host of criteria included in this area. Most of these subcategories relate to nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

In addition, we also wanted to point out that this facility was awarded impressive short-term care marks in this assessment. We awarded them one of our more impressive grades in that category, with a B. This turned out to be the facility's second best grade. In forming our short-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to create a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who returned home from the facility. We found that 4.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

This nursing home also received a decent inspection grade. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of C. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility had 2 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but fortunately none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This means that it avoided the more significant classes of deficiencies. We did not find anything on this place's inspection report to be overly alarming.

Switching gears to our fourth category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D for long-term care. This is the nursing home's weakest category score. When facilities receive this type of grade in long-term care it is a bad sign for resident care and it may indicate that the facility is not as well-staffed. On top of considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home gave the vaccine to only 84.92063 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this place was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
