Country Club Retirement Center

This facility received a quality overall grade as described above, but we especially wanted to point out its excellent health inspections in recent years. We gave it an A in this category. Our inspection scores are tied to datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.

Adding to this nursing home's list of achievements, it also was given a fine short-term care score. We awarded them a dominant grade of A- in this category. With our short-term care rating, we endeavor to forge a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze the facility's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents that returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

The next highest grade we gave this nursing home came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. This wasn't quite as good as some of its other scores, but a grade in this range is not the end of the world. We looked at the licensure of nurses employed by the facility, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses were with patients, in computing our grade in this category. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home fared better in some of the quality measures we looked at. It performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Turning to our final area, this facility was awarded a respectable long-term care grade. While this was not nearly as good as several of its other category grades, this is still not the end of the world. In forming these long-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's personal care services. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. This nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
