Continental Nursing & Rehab Center

Although we gave this nursing home a terrible overall score, we gave it a C for our nursing category. Our nursing rating looks at the facility's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of skill of the nurses and the amount of time spent with patients. This facility averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily, which is not an impressive total. Lastly, although this place got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of our quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it did very well in this statistic.

We wanted to point out that this nursing home earned an F for its inspection score. An F in this category is especiallY troublesome because it typically points to red flags on the nursing home's inspection reports. You should pay close attention to any deficiencies on a facility's inspection reports when it receives this poor of an inspection rating. We recommend you pay close attention to the level of severity of the deficiencies. This nursing home had 2 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they caused a threat to resident health or safety. Lastly, we want to point out that this place received large government fines in recent years amounting to more than $100,000. This usually means that a facility'sbad performance spanned more than one year.

Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its short-term care grade. Short-term care grades are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. Given its abysmal rating in this area, we weren't surprised to discover this nursing home offered significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most nursing homes. The last measure we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics was damning for this nursing home's short-term care grade.

The final area we scored was long-term care, where this facility was given a poor score here as well. We gave it an F in this area, which is definitely very concerning. When facilities receive this kind of score in this category it is typically a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the facility is not as well-staffed. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We discovered that this nursing home provided the vaccine to only 80.29801 percent of its patients, which is a bit of a concern. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best feature in this category.
