Centerville Care and Rehab Center

While this facility's overall score was not favorable, it received a very good grade in the area of long-term care. We awarded it a grade of B+ for that area, which is one of our better scores. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 96.52778 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is often a dangerous ailment for nursing home residents so we prefer when a facility does not roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Surprisingly, this nursing home actually received a good score in the area of inspections as well. In fact, we awarded it a B for that category, which is one of our better grades. Not many facilities that were this poor overall earned multiple category grades of this caliber. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.

We awarded this nursing home a grade of just D for our short-term care rating. This is not an impressive grade. Our short-term care ratings are based on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. With a grade of this caliber for this category, we weren't stunned to find this facility was below average in multiple staffing areas we assess. The nursing home offered substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.

The next category we graded is nursing, where this nursing home received a poor score in this area as well. We gave it an F in this area, which is definitely a major concern. When determining a facility's nursing grade, we assess the number of hours nurses are caring for residents and the level of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home averaged a meager 0.2 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is well below average. To go along with its below average totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this facility had really poor scores in many of the quality-based metrics we looked at in calculating our nursing scores. For starters, we looked at the percent of residents sustaining falls leading to major injury. This nursing home was at more than 1.5 times the national average in this statistic. This is alarming in light of the fact that so many falls could likely be prevented with better nursing care. This ended up sealing the facility's fate of receiving a poor nursing score.
