Harrison Pavilion Care Center

We just couldn't find anything positive to say about this place. It received just a D in the category of short-term care. Sadly, this ended up being its best grade. Our short-term care grades are arguably more meaningful for folks in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Based on its score in this area, we weren't stunned to find that this place is well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the metrics we looked at. Honestly, this was what we expected here. The last metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home.

Sadly, this place's next best category was inspections, but even there it received just a D. This is still a very poor grade. Our inspection grades factor in many items found on the nursing home's inspection reports. If you see severe deficiencies on the inspection reports, this is generally a bad sign. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. This particular facility was assessed a category J through K deficiency, which are among the worst categories of deficiencies. Lastly, we also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was assessed large government fines amounting to over $100,000. This typically signifies that a nursing home'sbad track record spanned more than one year.

Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. Our nursing rating weighs several subcategories, but the most important consideration is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This place offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This number is quite a bit below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This facility performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

The last area we looked at was long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F in this area, which is an abysmal grade. When facilities receive this type of score in long-term care it is often a bad sign for resident care and it may indicate that the place is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home provided the vaccine to just 63.60424 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
