Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
Although we didn't grade this facility favorably overall, we actually gave it an excellent grade in the category of inspections, where it earned an A. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This means that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies to be an imminent risk to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's next best category was long-term care, but it nevertheless earned a grade of just D in that category. This still happens to be a well below average grade. For long-term care residents, the primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. After assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 94.44444 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
Does this page answer your questions about Tucker Wellness & Rehabilitation Center?
Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. We looked at the skill-level of nurses at the facility, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses spent with patients, in computing our rating in this area. This facility provided only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This place fared well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we graded was short-term care, in which this nursing home was given an abysmal grade in this category as well. It received an abysmal F in this category, which is definitely very concerning. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. With a score of this caliber for this area, we weren't stunned to learn this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing figures we focus on. It supplied far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most facilities. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
