Davis Place

One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Arguably the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This place was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to resident health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.

Compounding its dominant achievements in other areas, we awarded this facility a grade of A- for its long-term care grade. For long-term care residents, the primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. On the whole this looks like a solid option in terms of its long-term care rating.

This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B+ in this area. The nursing score analyzes several subcategories, however, the main consideration is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

The last category we scored was short-term care. In this category, we awarded this facility an impressive grade of B. Our short-term care grade is generally employed to score a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To provide good rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
