Gil-Mor Manor

This nursing home received a favorable short-term care rating this year. We gave them a strong grade in that category, with a B+. This is a better grade than the nursing home's overall grade and was a boost to its overall profile. Our short-term care ratings are arguably most meaningful for folks needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

This nursing home also received favorable health inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better scores in that category, with a B. This is better than its overall grade. Inspection ratings are based on datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent government inspections. Places that receive favorable grades in this category have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to patient health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

In addition, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B in our nursing category. This is one of our better grades. Our nursing rating is based on quite a few subcategories, but the main one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 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 facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

This nursing home's weakest category was long-term care, which is the final category we analyzed. In this category, we gave this facility a grade of D. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. On top of considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 96.8421 percent of its patients, which is higher than the average nursing home. To our surprise, this facility also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
