Generations at Rock Island

While this facility's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially focus on the severity of those deficiencies. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.

Remarkably, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C for our nursing rating, which isn't a bad grade. Nursing scores are based largely on nurse staffing levels. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a relatively low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, nursing scores also factor in quality-based assessments, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this place performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses to assist its residents.

Sadly, this nursing home's next best score is short-term care. Nevertheless, with a grade of D in this area, it still performed somewhat badly. Short-term care grades are often used to grade a facility's performance with rehabilitation To offer highly rated rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. Given its grade in this area, we weren't surprised to find that this place was well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the data we assessed. Frankly, this was what we expected to find. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 4.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.

Turning to our fourth category, this facility didn't perform well in this category either. Due to a rock bottom grade of F in long-term care, this is really as as uninspiring as it gets. Facilities that do not fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. We were concerned by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated only 54.121864 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
