Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of B-. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This facility was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat to resident health or safety. 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.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Sadly, this nursing home only earned a D for its long-term care rating, which is actually one of its more respectable category grades. For prospective residents looking for a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to find that this facility vaccinated 99.67585 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Another issue was the F this facility was given in the category of short-term care. Our short-term care ratings are crucial for prospective residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional skilled nursing. This includes a wide spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Not surprisingly, we learned that this facility provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the typical nursing home. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The last area we looked at was nursing. This nursing home received a rock bottom grade of F in this category. Our nursing rating consists of many data points, however, the most important consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility provided just 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Countryside Nursing & Rehab Center Quality Metrics

Minimizes Pressure Ulcers

Grade: A

In Countryside Nursing & Rehab Center, 8.73% of Patients had Pressure Ulcers

Minimizes Serious Falls

Grade: B-minus

In Countryside Nursing & Rehab Center, 3.45% of Patients had Serious Falls

Minimizes Urinary Tract Infections

Grade: A-plus

In Countryside Nursing & Rehab Center, 2.6% of Patients had UTIs

This is the percentage of residents that sustained a urinary tract infection. UTI's are often associated with facilities with worst hygiene practices. Better hygiene protocols can limit the number of UTI's sustained by residents in a nursing home.

Grade: F

In Countryside Nursing & Rehab Center, 18.11% of Patients use Anti-Psychotic Medication

High levels of antipsychotic drug use may indicate that a facility is using these medications to control patient behavior in situations where such drugs aren't medically required. However, some nursing homes need to rely more on these drugs due to an increased number of patients suffering from cognitive disorders.

Appropriately Uses Anti-Anxiety Medication

This indicates the percentage of residents who were prescribed antianxiety medications. Antianxiety medications are given to residents suffering from depression and anxiety.

Grade: A

In Countryside Nursing & Rehab Center, 17.56 Percentage of Residents Rehospitalized

This is the number of times residents are rehospitalized per 1,000 days of short-term patient care. There is typically a correlation between having fewer hospitalizations and the quality of rehabilitation services.

Short-term Care: ER Visits

Grade: B-plus

In Countryside Nursing & Rehab Center, 11.82 Percentage of Patients
