Clairmont Beaumont

While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of B-. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

We awarded this facility a grade of just D for our short-term care grade and that actually ended up being its second most favorable score. With our short-term care grade, we endeavor to craft a fair measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze the nursing home's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The final item we looked at in this category is the number of patients that eventually 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. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below average.

The next category we looked at is long-term care. This nursing home's received an abysmal long-term care grade where it received an F. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care ratings. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.

The next category we scored is nursing. This facility received an abysmal grade of F in that category. Our nursing score consists of quite a few factors, however, the paramount consideration is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is well below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these data points to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
