Coliseum Convalescent and Rehabilitation Center is a large nursing home located in Hampton, Virginia. With a bottom of the barrel overall grade of F, this facility isn't high on our list. If you are not happy with this facility's pedestrian overall grade, you may find your options to be limited in Hampton. The city has just three other nursing homes. Despite all this, one of the few highlights of this facility's report card is its impressive inspection rating. You can continue reading to find out about inspections and other category grades

Facility Inspections
Although we gave this facility a horrible overall grade, we gave it an A- for our inspections rating. This grade is far more impressive than the facility's overall grade. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. It is generally best to avoid places that had too many severe deficiencies. This facility was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to resident safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this facility's next most respectable category is short-term care. Nevertheless, with a grade of D in this area, it still fared somewhat badly. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. With its poor score in this area, we were not shocked to discover this facility offered significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other facilities. Finally, we considered the number of residents that were able to return home from this facility. It fared better in this area, with 49.6 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was nursing, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. We weighed the levels of nurses at the facility, in addition to the number of hours those nurses were with patients, in computing our rating in this category. This nursing home offered a meager 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This figure is well below average. On top of receiving below average scores for nursing hours, this facility was less impressive in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in determining our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and found this nursing home was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this metric. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that so many bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. This statistic pulled down this nursing home's nursing score significantly.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we assessed is long-term care, where this nursing home received an abysmal score in this area also. Sadly, it received an F in this area, which is definitely a major concern. In a long-term care environment, the primary goal 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 patients. One of the factors we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccines. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 99.398796 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this facility also keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 1.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
