Kaplan Healthcare Center

While this place'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 B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This tells you the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.

This facility also didn't perform too badly in the category of long-term care. In fact, we gave it a B- for that area, which ended up being among its better scores. For prospective residents looking for a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. Once we assessed the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinates 98.68996 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. Our nursing rating assesses a handful of datapoints, many of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This particular facility provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This statistic is far below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Moving on to the last area, we gave this nursing home a D for the area of short-term care. This was the nursing home's weakest category rating. With our short-term care score, we strive to craft a valuable measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze the nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Considering its score in this category, we were not stunned to learn that this facility was well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the data we looked at. The last datapoint we assessed in this category is the number of patients who eventually returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below the national average.
