Manning Regional Healthcare Ce

On top of receiving an elite overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ inspection rating. This grade is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. An A+ in this area is one of the highest complements we can pay to a nursing home. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively minor. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Another one of this facility's quality category scores came in the category of long-term care. We gave them one of our stronger scores in that category, with a score of B+. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in long-term care it is typically a good sign for patient care and indicates that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is much higher than the average nursing home. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Another strong feature for this facility is that it received an impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B+. Our nursing score is based on quite a few subcategories, however, the paramount consideration is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided 0 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 many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Switching gears to the final area, this nursing home was awarded a very strong short-term care grade. We awarded it a grade of B+ in this area, rounding out one of our finer profiles. With our short-term care rating, we strive to create a fair barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. It does not appear that this nursing home submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The last measure we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.
