Crescent Manor Care Ctrs

This facility's best category grade came in the area of government inspections. In this area, we gave this facility a grade of B+. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Our inspection grades are based on many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this category tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Building on this nursing home's list of strengths, it also received an excellent nursing grade. We gave them an impressive grade of B- in this category. Nursing ratings are largely associated with a nursing home's nurse staffing. 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 place actually excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It scored well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

This facility received its third highest category score in the area of short-term care. We gave this nursing home a B- in this category, which is a respectable score. With our short-term care assessment, we attempt to create a sound gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess a nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. The last statistic we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

The last area we scored is long-term care. We gave it a grade of C in that area. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. Our long-term care grade is used to assess a facility's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services provided by a skilled nursing facility. Once we assessed the amount of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to discover that this facility vaccinates 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. This place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
