Conway Manor

One of the many reasons this proved to be a great nursing home is that it received a very impressive long-term care rating. This ended up being its best grade. In this area, we awarded this nursing home an A. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 97.22222 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

To complement its strong performance in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+ for our inspections rating. Our nursing grade is mostly associated with a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

This facility also received a dominant short-term care score. In fact, this is this facility's third strongest category score. In that category, we gave this facility a score of A-. Short-term care grades are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 5.4 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Completing its excellent profile, this facility also performed well in our inspection category, which is based on the facility's recent government inspection reports. We gave it a B+ for that category, which is one of our higher scores. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
