Cumberland Manor Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

We want to point out that this facility really outperformed its overall score in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in this area with a grade of A+. Our inspection scores are tied to datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this category typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

We also awarded this nursing home a positive grade in long-term care. This facility received a B in this area, which is one of our more favorable scores. In a long-term care setting, the primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 93.38843 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which happens to be a bit less than we were hoping for but still a decent percentage. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing score. We gave this nursing home a grade of D. In computing a nursing home's nursing rating, we consider the quantity of hours nurses are caring for patients as well as the levels of training of the nurses. With only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were significantly below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This facility performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these metrics to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

The next category we assessed is short-term care. It received a lowly F in this area, which is a very poor score. This is certainly a significant concern. With our short-term care score, we attempt to craft a sound gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze a nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. With a grade in this range in this area, we weren't shocked to discover that this nursing home was well below average in two of the key staffing areas we assess. The nursing home supplied significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final item we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.1 percent of its residents returning home.
