Hellenic Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this nursing home also earned an elite short-term care grade. We gave them one of our higher scores in that area, with an impressive grade of A. Our short-term care grades are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a wide scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final statistic we looked at in this area is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that 6.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Adding to this nursing home's list of strengths, it also received an excellent nursing grade. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. Nursing scores are largely tied to the facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

The third area we assessed was long-term care. This nursing home was awarded a favorable long-term care grade, with a grade of B+ in the category. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care ratings. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 93.8575 percent of its residents. This is slightly lower than we expected but still a decent percentage. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Turning to the final category of inspections, this was not one of this facility's better grades. Inspection grades are based on a facility's recent government inspection reports. We gave this nursing home a C in this category. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
