Englewood Health and Rehab

Englewood Health and Rehab is a large nursing home in Englewood, Ohio. Our grading scheme was not kind to this nursing home, as it received an overall rating of F. Keep in mind that Englewood received a far more impressive city grade of B, so you should definitely consider other options in the city. We would not blame you if you are ready to stop reading and find another nursing home. However, if you want to learn more about this place's category grades, inspection grades are discussed in the next section.

Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a B- for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively insignificant. This particular nursing home received 9 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

In our next category, we gave this facility a rock-bottom F in the category of short-term care. Short-term care grades are generally used to judge a facility's rehabilitation services. To offer highly rated rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to feature better levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other types of therapists. With a score this poor in this category, we weren't surprised to find this place was below average in two of the key staffing figures we focus on. The facility offered far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 47.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Another issue was the F this facility was given in the area of long-term care. When facilities receive this type of score in this category it is a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the facility is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated only 57.464787 percent of its patients, which is not a very encouraging sign. Lastly, we were stunned by its number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this facility fared poorly with 3.51 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this statistic is more than twice the national average.

The next category we rated was nursing, in which this nursing home received a poor grade here as well. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this area, which is obviously very concerning. The nursing rating analyzes several factors, however, the primary consideration is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provided just 2.8 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is well below average. To go along with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this facility also didn't perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of residents experiencing pressure ulcers and major falls. This facility had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average facility.
