Facility Inspections
Neither this nursing home's overall grade nor its category grades gave us much to write home about. This place's best area was inspections, but even here we gave it a D. This is a very poor grade. Inspection grades factor in many items on the nursing home's inspection reports. When you find too many deficiencies on the inspection reports, this is typically the worst sign. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. This particular nursing home was assessed a category G through L deficiency, which rank among the more severe categories of deficiencies. These categories indicate that the deficiencies found by inspectors had the potential to cause actual harm to patients. Finally, this facility also received 31 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
Short-term Care Quality
We also wanted to note that this facility was given an F for its short-term care grade. In our short-term care assessment, we attempt to craft a valuable gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess a facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Based on its score in this category, we weren't stunned to learn that this facility is well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the figures we assessed. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
Does this page answer your questions about Colonial Heights Health Care C?
Nurse Quality
This facility ended up receiving rock bottom score in our nursing category. It received an F in this category. The nursing score includes a handful of subcategories, many of which are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This place offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these metrics to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the next category, this nursing home really did not fare well here either. With an abysmal grade of F in long-term care, this is just about as as uninspiring as it gets. Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in this category may not provide the kind of consistent 24/7 care that some other facilities provide. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 91.53713 percent of its patients. This is somewhat lower than we were hoping for but still a respectable figure. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
