Davis Center

While this facility's overall score was terrible, it didn't perform as badly in the area of nursing. We awarded it a B- for that category. In determining our nursing scores, we assess both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, while this facility got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality metrics. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this subcategory.

This nursing home also didn't grade out poorly in the area of short-term care. In fact, we gave it a grade of B- for that area, which happens to be among its higher scores. Our short-term care grade is typically used to score a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To have highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to feature higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Sadly, this nursing home only received a grade of D for its long-term care score, which is not a score to write home about. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care scores. On top of considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 98.9899 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.

Unfortunately, this facility did not receive a favorable inspection grade. We gave it a just D in this category. Inspection scores relate to a nursing home's government inspection reports. We weight poor inspection grades heavily in our assessment. Since government inspection reports are compiled by independent inspectors, we consider this data to be reliable. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. We would pay close attention to the severity of those deficiencies. This particular facility had a category J or K deficiency, which rank among the worst categories of deficiencies. This generally means that inspectors found a deficiency which puts patient safety or health in imminent danger. Another area of concern is that CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.
