Conesus Lake Nursing & Rehabilitation

This nursing home received a quality overall score as described above, but we especially wanted to point out its excellent health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A+ in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite insignificant. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This nursing home was given a strong long-term care grade as well. We awarded it one of our better grades in that category with a score of B+. For residents seeking a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 68.3871 percent of its patients, which is slightly less than we were hoping for. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

This facility was given its next most favorable category grade in the area of short-term care. We gave this nursing home a B- in this area, which is a reasonably acceptable score. In computing our short-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to devise a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last measure we considered in this category is the number of patients who returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Switching gears to the final area, this nursing home was given a grade of C for nursing, which is generally an acceptable grade. Our nursing score consists of several data points, many of which are based on nursing hours. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often a good indicator that a facility has quality controls in place.
