Grant Healthcare and Rehabilitation

This facility received a strong overall grade as described above, but we especially want to emphasize its excellent government inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A+ in this area. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with better scores in this category most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to create an immediate risk to resident safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

This nursing home is also above average in the area of long-term care, where it was given a score of B. It performed better than most nursing homes in this category. For residents seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 83.641975 percent of its residents. This is slightly less than we anticipated. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, at least this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

The next category we analyzed was short-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a solid grade of B-. In crafting these short-term care ratings, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to formulate a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last measure we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Moving on to our last area, this facility received a respectable nursing score of B-. In calculating our nursing ratings, we weigh both staffing levels and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place.
