Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

While this nursing home's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's next most respectable score was short-term care, but it nevertheless earned a grade of just D in that area. This ended up being a well below average score. Our short-term care scores are presumably most critical for individuals needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically mandates more skilled nursing. This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. With a grade this poor in this category, we weren't shocked to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing figures we looked at. The nursing home offered far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 4.6 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

We also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's poor nursing grade where it received an F. Our nursing score is based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of licensure of those nurses and the quantity of hours spent with residents. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to our next category, this nursing home really did not fare well here either. Due to a rock bottom grade of F in long-term care, this is about as bad as it gets. When facilities receive this type of grade in long-term care it is often a bad sign for resident care and it may indicate that the nursing home is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We discovered that this facility gave the vaccine to a relatively low 82.21477 percent of its patients, which is quite a bit lower than we expected. Surprisingly, this place was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.

Guilford Health Care Center Quality Metrics

Minimizes Pressure Ulcers

Grade: D

In Guilford Health Care Center, 14.34% of Patients had Pressure Ulcers

This is the percentage of patients that have had a pressure ulcer. Pressure ulcers, which are also referred to as bed sores, are routinely the result of patients not being moved frequently enough. Better nursing care can reduce the percentage of residents in a nursing home who sustain pressure ulcers.

Minimizes Serious Falls

Grade: C

In Guilford Health Care Center, 5.03% of Patients had Serious Falls

This is the percentage of residents that have had a major fall. Falls leading to major injury are considered by many in the nursing home industry to be an indicator of the quality of nursing care at a nursing home. Falls which result in injury are routinely the result of lower levels of patient supervision.

Minimizes Urinary Tract Infections

Grade: C

In Guilford Health Care Center, 3.05% of Patients had UTIs

This tells you the percent of residents that have had a urinary tract infection. UTI's are routinely linked to lower quality nursing care. Additional nurse staffing limits the percentage of residents in a nursing home who suffer from UTI's. We want to point out that this metric is affected by by the fact that facilities have varying reporting standards for urinary tract infections.

Appropriately Uses Anti-Psychotic Medication

Grade: B

In Guilford Health Care Center, 13.17% of Patients use Anti-Psychotic Medication

This indicates the percentage of patients given antipsychotic drugs. While antipsychotic drugs may be helpful for many patients, it is important to ensure these medications are being used only where medically required. In some situations, increased usage of these drugs may suggest a nursing home is using these medications to subdue residents.

In Guilford Health Care Center, 16.42% of Patients use Anti-Anxiety Medication

This statistic measures the percent of long-term stay patients taking antianxiety drugs.

Short-term Care: ER Visits

Grade: B

In Guilford Health Care Center, 12.28% of Patients

This datapoint is a measure of the number of times residents are sent to the emergency room per thousand days of short-term care. Avoiding medical emergencies is one way to measure short-term care.

Short-term Care: Facilitates Functional Improvement

Grade: B-plus

In Guilford Health Care Center, 82.18% of Resident

This tells you the percent of short-term stay residents that saw functional improvements, such as with activities of daily living.
