Rose Trail Nursing and Rehabilitation

While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of B-. Inspection scores are based on datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This means the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.

Remarkably, we gave this nursing home a grade of C for our long-term care score, which is not too bad of a score. In our long-term care score, we look at the quantity of services provided by a nursing home, as well as a handful of qualitative datapoints. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 91.14285 percent of its residents. Nevertheless, this nursing home 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.

Surprisingly, we gave this nursing home a C for our short-term care score, which really isn't too bad of a score. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a wide scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its level of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The real question is whether this adversely impacted quality of care. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.6 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

The final area we looked at is nursing, which is this facility's weakest area. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in that category. The nursing category assesses many factors, most of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. With a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were far below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these statistics to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
