Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

While we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a B- for our short-term care rating. This score is more respectable than the place's overall grade. Our short-term care ratings are meaningful for individuals seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional skilled nursing. This includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. This nursing home provides more services with physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is usually a favorable sign. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 4.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

We were also pleasantly surprised to award this facility a relatively favorable inspection grade as well. We gave it a B- in this category, which easily topped its overall score. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which is not a bad score. Our nursing grade includes numerous factors. The most heavily weighted one is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This facility averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is not an impressive total. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics. While this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in some of these quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this subcategory. This can be an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of turning patients even once per day.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next category we scored is long-term care. We gave it a lowly F in this category, which is a poor score. For residents seeking a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to find that this nursing home vaccinated 95.112015 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.

Grade: D

In Peterson Healthcare and Rehabilitation Hospital, 13.46% of Patients had Pressure Ulcers

This tells you the percentage of residents who sustained a pressure ulcer. Pressure ulcers are considered by many experts to be a barometer of the quality of nursing care at a nursing home.

Minimizes Serious Falls

Grade: A-minus

In Peterson Healthcare and Rehabilitation Hospital, 1.83% of Patients had Serious Falls

This is a measure of the percent of long-term stay patients receiving antipsychotic medications.
