Marshall Healthcare Facility

One of the reasons this proved to be a quality facility is it received a very impressive short-term care rating. Short-term care turned out to be its best category. In that category, we gave this nursing home an A-. Our short-term care scores are presumably most important for patients needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically mandates more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who returned home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

In addition, this facility also performed well in inspections, which is based on the facility's recent inspections. We awarded it an A- for that category. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent threat to resident health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.

This facility is also strong in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B+. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. In calculating our nursing scores, we factor in both nursing hours and the skill levels of those nurses. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

The next category we analyzed is long-term care. In this area, we gave this nursing home an acceptable grade of C. This was this nursing home's least impressive area. Our long-term care grade assesses a nursing home's assistance with daily living instead of the skilled nursing and medical services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 95.27559 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
