Mansion Nursing and Rehab Center

In addition to receiving a quality overall grade, this nursing home also earned strong health inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better scores in this area, with a grade of B+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being quite minor. This facility received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent risk to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.

This nursing home also was awarded an impressive short-term care score. In fact, we gave it an above average score of B in this category. Short-term care scores are meaningful for residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B in this area. Our nursing score looks at the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of skill of the nurses as well as the amount of time spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Moving on to our next area, this facility was awarded a very strong long-term care grade. This facility didn't prove to have any weak categories. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 99.50495 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is too frequently a life threatening health condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a facility does not leave its residents vulnerable. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
