Davis East

While this nursing home earned a decent overall grade, its inspections grade is notably more impressive than its overall score. Due to a strong inspection report this year, it received a strong score in that area with a B+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively minor. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

We also awarded this facility a favorable grade in nursing. This facility earned a grade of B+ in this category, which is one of our better grades. Our nursing rating is largely tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Additionally, we awarded this facility a grade of B+ in our long-term care category. This is one of our higher scores. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care ratings. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. It doesn't look like this nursing home provided data regarding vaccinations. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

The last category we analyzed was short-term care. We gave it a grade of C in this area. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this area. Short-term care grades are based on a facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not look like this nursing home submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of patients who eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 3.4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well below average.
