Centerville Healthcare Center

While this nursing home's overall grade is not a highlight, it received a somewhat respectable score in the category of inspections. We awarded it a B- for this category, which is a decent score. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially focus on the severity of those deficiencies. While this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.

We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. Our nursing score is mostly tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This particular facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This figure is far below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home fared better in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it scored well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

This nursing home's next best category is its long-term care score, where it received a C. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

The final area we rated was short-term care. This facility was awarded a grade of C in this area. In calculating our short-term care grades, we assess a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. This category is generally a meaningful measure of the facility's rehabilitation services. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below average.
