Continental Nursing & Rehab Center

Unfortunately, we didn't have any positive things to say about this facility's overall grade or its category scores. Nevertheless, with a grade of just D in this category, it still performed badly. Our nursing score weighs a number of datapoints. The most heavily weighted factor is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This place performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

This facility didn't receive glowing inspections in recent years. We gave it just a D for our inspections rating and that actually proved to be its second highest score. One of the more significant factors in assessing inspection reports is deficiencies. We recommend you pay close attention to the level of severity of the deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they created a risk to patient safety or health. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.

Sadly, this facility received an F for its long-term care score. Facilities that don't fare well in long-term care typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. After looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated 79.6748 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which happens to be quite a bit below average. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.

The last area we rated was short-term care. This nursing home received a poor grade of F in this category. In our short-term care assessment, we endeavor to craft a valuable measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess a nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. As you might expect, we found that this facility provides significantly less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the typical nursing home. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
