The Springs of Broadway

While this facility's overall score was terrible, it performed pretty well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for that category, which is one of our better scores. Our inspection ratings are tied to many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these reports. You should especially avoid facilities with severe deficiencies linked to endangerment of patients. We were not able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. We wish we had more information about this facility. Without having complete information regarding deficiencies, it ended up being difficult to assess this nursing home in terms of this category.

Turning to the area of short-term care, this nursing home was given just a D in this category. Sadly, this proved to be its second best grade. Short-term care scores are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Given its score in this category, we weren't stunned to find that this facility is well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the metrics we looked at. The last metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home.

Moving on to the area of long-term care, this facility was given just a D in that area. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. It doesn't look like this facility provided data regarding vaccinations. Surprisingly, this facility actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.

The last area we assessed is nursing. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this category, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. Our nursing rating consists of a handful of subcategories, but the most important consideration is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility averaged only 0.2 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is well below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
