Cleveland Manor Nursing & Rehabilitation

To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are well cared for. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 73.91305 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be somewhat less than we anticipated but still a decent figure. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

This facility also excelled in inspections. We awarded it a grade of A for that area. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Turning to the category of nursing care, this facility didn't perform quite as well in this area as some of the categories discussed above. Nevertheless, a grade of B- in this category is by no means a bad score. Our nursing rating analyzes the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of licensure of the nurses and the amount of time spent with residents. This nursing home provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a somewhat discouraging figure which is well below average. Lastly, we also assessed several nursing quality measures. While this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of these quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this metric. This can be an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a policy of turning residents more often.

The final category we assessed is short-term care. In this area, we awarded this facility a decent grade of C. This actually was this facility's worst category. Short-term care grades are typically used to measure a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to have highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to feature better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. It does not appear that this nursing home submitted registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
