Family Health & Rehabilitation Center

On top of earning a strong overall score, this facility also earned an elite short-term care grade. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with an impressive grade of A. Our short-term care scores are probably most meaningful for those requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally requires more skilled nursing. This includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 6.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

In addition, this facility earned top notch government inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better grades in that category, with an A-. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

This facility is also strong in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. There are several datapoints included in this category. Many of the datapoints relate to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.5 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 frequently be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

The final category we rated is long-term care, in which this nursing home received a grade of B-. This actually was this facility's worst category. This is nevertheless not a terrible score. For prospective residents in need of a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinates 97.674416 percent of its residents for pneumonia. This facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
