Jerseyville Manor

While this nursing home earned a decent overall rating, its inspections grade is notably more impressive than its overall score. Due to a strong government inspection report this year, it earned a strong score in that category with a B+. Our inspection grades are tied to many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this category typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Another one of this nursing home's more favorable category grades was in the category of short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B. Our short-term care grade is generally used to score a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to provide high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer better levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this nursing home submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. Nursing scores are based largely on quantity of nursing care available. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place fared better in some of the quality measures we looked at. It performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the quantity of hours of care provided.

The last category we scored is long-term care. We awarded it a C in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this area. Our long-term care grade is generally used to measure a nursing home's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services provided by a rehabilitation facility. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. We were concerned by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated only 69.09871 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Nevertheless, this place excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
