Centerburg Pointe

While this facility's overall grade was decent, it really fared well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our best scores. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

This facility's second best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. Nursing scores are largely associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a low total compared with most other nursing homes. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually a good indicator that a place has quality controls in place.

This facility's second lowest score was long-term care, where it earned a grade of just D in that category. This is a well below average score. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in this category it typically means the nursing home did not perform well in our measures relating to patient care. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. Frankly, we were a bit alarmed this nursing home vaccinated 66.47059 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is quite a few points below what we were hoping for. To our surprise, this facility actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.

Moving on to our last area, we gave this nursing home a grade of D for our short-term care category. This was the nursing home's least impressive category grade. Our short-term care ratings are arguably more critical for residents needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional skilled nursing. This includes not only nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Considering its score in this area, we weren't stunned to find that this facility was well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Frankly, this was about what we expected to find. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the number of patients who returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home. This was quite a bit below the national average.
