Christian Community Home of Osceola

Christian Community Home of Osceola is a facility located in Osceola, Wisconsin, a city with a population of 7,260 people. With an overall rating of A+, this facility is without a doubt a top-shelf facility. We were so impressed with this nursing home that we ranked it in the top ten percentile of all facilities nationally. As you will find below, this facility performed just as well in our category grades. We gave it a straight A report card!

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility excelled in our nursing rating. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. When calculating a facility's nursing grade, we consider the quantity of hours nurses are seeing residents and the level of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home provided 4.7 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is among the more impressive totals in the country. A significant portion of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the most highly skilled levels of nurses. We were very impressed by both of these figures. In addition to providing high levels of care, this facility was also above average in several of the major quality measures we looked at in this category. It performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

This nursing home also received an A+ long-term care grade, making it one of the few facilities to receive several A+ category scores. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective 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 residents. This facility's vaccination data weren't as favorable as its nursing hours data. This nursing home gave the pneumonia vaccine to just 50.485435 percent of its residents. We'd love to see some improvement in this area next year. This facility also keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 1.38 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.

Another impressive feature of this nursing home is its inspection grade. In that area, we gave this facility an A. Inspection grades account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area typically have very few severe deficiencies. This place was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

In our final category, this nursing home also was awarded an excellent short-term care grade, with an A-. This rounded out a very strong profile. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. This facility excelled in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It supplied more care from physical therapists and registered nurses than the typical facility. This is usually an excellent sign. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. It performed decently in this metric, with 45.8 percent of its residents able to return home.
