Cleveland Manor Nursing & Rehabilitation

This facility received a long-term care score which is stronger than its overall score. We awarded this facility an above average grade of B+ in this category. This really helped its overall profile. In a long-term care setting, the 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. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 70.25641 percent of its residents, which is a few points less than we were hoping for. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

We also wanted to emphasize this place's nearly flawless inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of B+ in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. This facility was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to be an immediate risk to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

This nursing home's third highest area ended up being short-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C. Our short-term care grades are likely most important for people needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. The facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. It is still important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. The last item we looked at in this area is the number of patients who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

This facility's least impressive category was nursing, which is the last area we assessed. It received an abysmal F for this area. In spite of multiple decent scores in other areas, this grade is nevertheless of a concern so we would like to to make sure you are aware. There are a host of factors included in this category. Most of the factors reflect the quantity of nurse staffing. This nursing home offered only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is well below average. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this nursing home also did not perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of patients experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This place had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home. This could be a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. These statistics hurt this facility's nursing grade quite a bit.
