Country Lane Gardens Rehab & Nursing Center is an average-sized nursing home located in Pleasantville, Ohio. We gave this facility an overall rating of F. If you are not satisfied with this facility's pedestrian overall grade, you may have to look in other cities as this is the only nursing home in Pleasantville. More information on this nursing home's category grades may be found below. Its best category is inspections, which is discussed in the next section.

This place's scores were terrible across the board. We especially wanted to draw your attention to its inspection grade where it received an F. This isn't a good sign for its government inspection reports. When a facility has this poor of an inspection score, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This particular nursing home had 7 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they posed a risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility also received 20 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.

Included in this nursing home's litany of low-end scores was its F in the area of short-term care. Short-term care ratings are crucial for prospective residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates more skilled nursing. This means a broad scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. With its score in this area, we weren't surprised to learn that this place was well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the data we assessed. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 32.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

We also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's poor nursing grade where it received an F. We looked at the skill-level of nurses employed by the facility, in addition to the quantity of time the nurses were with patients, in determining our grade in this category. This particular nursing home averaged a meager 2.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This figure is significantly below the national average. In addition to ranking below average in nursing hours per resident, this place also had poor scores in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home was at about 150 percent of the national average in both of these datapoints. This is a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. These scores pulled down this facility's nursing grade significantly.

The last area we rated is long-term care. It received an F in this category, which is a rock bottom grade. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. One of the statistics we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to only 77.65568 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.14 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
