Maple Manor Nursing and Rehab

We gave this nursing home one of our better scores in the area of nursing, with an A-. This is a notably better grade than the facility's overall score, which was decent but not in the elite range. Our nursing score is mostly associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Additionally, we also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received favorable short-term care marks in this assessment. We gave them one of our better grades in this area, with a grade of B+. This turned out to be the nursing home's second best grade. Our short-term care grades are presumably more meaningful for individuals in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of patients who returned home from this nursing home. We found that 4.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

This facilities next best area is long-term care. We awarded it a grade of C in this area. This is basically a middle of the road score in this category. In the area of long-term care, we assess the amount of care offered by a nursing home, rather than more sophisticated services. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home gave the vaccine to 99.375 percent of its patients, which is a very respectable datapoint. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Moving on the final category of government inspections, we gave this facility a grade of just D for our inspection category. This proved to be this nursing home's weakest category. We take a poor score in this category very seriously. Our inspection scores weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. You should be especially cautious when considering a facility that has severe deficiencies on a recent inspection report. This particular nursing home had 7 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they caused a threat to resident health or safety. Lastly, we would like to point out that this place received significant government fines in recent years amounting to more than $100,000. This often means that a nursing home's bad performance spanned more than one year.
