Jonesburg Nursing & Rehab

Jonesburg Nursing & Rehab is an average-sized nursing home located in Jonesburg, Missouri. With an overall rating of F, we consider this to be a lower end nursing home. This nursing home is really as bad as it gets. More information on this nursing home's category grades is available below. Its best category was inspections, which is addressed in the next paragraph.

While this nursing home's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is one of our better scores. We believe that one of the most important factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of the deficiencies. This place was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were category G through L deficiencies. This indicates that it dodged the more ominous categories of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received some government fines in recent years.

Unfortunately, this nursing home's second best category is short-term care. Nevertheless, with a D in this area, it still performed somewhat badly. Short-term care scores are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provides fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the facility. This facility a bit in this area as well, with just 46.5 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

This nursing home ended up receiving a rock-bottom grade in our long-term care category. It was given a lowly F in this area. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 96.52778 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. To our surprise, this facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 1.69 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.

Switching gears to the final category, this facility did not perform well in this area either. Due to a rock bottom grade of F in nursing, this is about as as uninspiring as it gets. In calculating our nursing ratings, we assess both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of the nurses. This facility offered just 2.8 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This number is far below the national average. Unfortunately, this facility also had terrible scores in some of the quality-based metrics to go along with its weak nursing hours. We looked at the percent of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and we were quite disappointed. This place was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in this area. This is likely a bad sign in light of the fact that many bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. This metric helped pull down this nursing home's nursing rating quite a bit.
