Centracare Health Paynesville Koronis Manor Cc

Although this place's overall grade is not a highlight, it received a somewhat respectable grade in the area of inspections. We awarded it a B- for that area, which is a decent score. Inspection ratings are tied to items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. 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. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.

We also ended up giving this facility a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B-. Our nursing rating analyzes quite a few datapoints, many of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, nursing scores also consider quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses aids to assist its residents.

The third area we looked at was short-term care, where this nursing home was given a grade of B- in this category. Short-term care grades are often employed to gauge a nursing home's rehabilitation services In order to have high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. The final statistic we assessed in this area is the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

The last area we analyzed is long-term care. We awarded it a B- in this area. This is a perfectly acceptable grade in this area. For residents looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is higher than most nursing homes. This facility also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
