Complete Care Green Knoll

The primary reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it earned an excellent inspection grade. Its inspection grade was far superior to its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave it an A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some can be quite insignificant. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

One of this facility's more favorable category scores was in the category of long-term care. This ended up being its second most respectable category. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. In calculating our long-term care scores, we scrutinize the assistance with daily living offered to the facility's residents. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 97.07725 percent of its residents. This facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with an impressive grade of D. Our nursing grade assesses a handful of datapoints, however, the most important consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This particular facility offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This statistic is well below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Turning to our last area, this nursing home really didn't fare well. With a bottom of the barrel grade of F in short-term care, this was its worst category grade. In calculating these short-term care ratings, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to create a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. With its score in this category, we weren't stunned to learn that this facility is well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the data we assessed. Frankly, this was about what we expected to find. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
