Collinsville Rehabilitation & Health Care Center

We could not find anything positive to say about this facility. It received a just D in the area of nursing. Unfortunately, this is its best grade. When determining our nursing ratings, we assess both staffing levels and the skill levels of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This place performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

We gave this facility a grade of just D for our long-term care grade and that actually ended up being its next most respectable score. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 98.59813 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.

This nursing home wound up receiving a a very poor score in our short-term care category. It received a lowly F in this area. In calculating our short-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to formulate a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Given its abysmal rating in this area, we were not surprised to discover this nursing home offered significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most facilities. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its patients returning home.

Turning our final category of inspections, this facility received a grade that's as bad as it gets. We weight this category more heavily than other categories. When a place has this bad of an inspection rating, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. This particular nursing home was hit with a category G through L deficiency, which are among the more serious deficiencies. These categories indicate that the deficiencies uncovered by the government inspectors had the potential to create actual harm to patients. Finally, we would like to point out that this place received significant government fines in recent years totaling over $100,000. This typically indicates that a bad track record has been an issue for several years.
