Jackson Manor Nursing Home

On top of being a great facility overall, it also earned A+ inspections recently. Its inspections were virtually perfect. Our inspection ratings account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area generally have very few severe deficiencies. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

We also gave this nursing home a grade of A+ for its long-term care grade. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 99.60159 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

The next highest grade we gave this nursing home came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. This wasn't quite as good as some of its other scores, but a grade in this range is not the end of the world. There are a number of datapoints included in this category. Most of the datapoints are tied to nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This figure is significantly below average. Lastly, although this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in a few of our quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it did very well in this subcategory.

Turning to our last area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D for our short-term care category. This is the facility's least impressive category score. However, we would not focus exclusively one bad grade. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. It looks like this place was subpar in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the data we assessed. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
