Delhaven Manor

While we gave this nursing home a poor overall grade, we actually awarded it a fairly respectable grade in the area of inspections, where it received a B-. This was quite a bit better than its other category grades. Inspection grades account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

We also awarded this facility a grade of C for our nursing rating. Our nursing score weighs a variety of factors. The most important variable is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly fared better in some of the quality measures we looked at. It scored well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

This facility's next most favorable category came in the area of short-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of C. Short-term care scores are based on the nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its level of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The last measure we looked at in this category is the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

The next category we graded is long-term care. For that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. Long-term care grades assess a facility's assistance with daily living instead of the highly skilled therapy or healthcare services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. After assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. Unfortunately, this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 76.53061 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Nevertheless, this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
