Mattoon Rehab & Hcc

We awarded this nursing home one of our higher scores in the area of short-term care, where it earned an A-. This is far better than the nursing home's overall score, which was decent but not in the elite range. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. It does not appear that this nursing home submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This proved to be a real strength for this nursing home. It outperformed the vast majority of facilities in the nation in this area with 65.7 percent of its residents returning home. This is a far better rate than most nursing homes.

In addition, this facility also excelled in inspections, where it earned a grade of B+. Few nursing homes performed as well in this category. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was hit with 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.

We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of B-. Our nursing rating consists of many components, most of which are based on levels of nurse staffing. This facility provides only 0 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure as it is well below average. Finally, our nursing scores also consider some quality-focused statistics. We look at the percent of residents who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. These metrics are measures of the quality of nursing care, since better care can reduce these problems.

This facility's weakest category is long-term care, which is the last category we analyzed. For this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of just D. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 96.27907 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Lastly, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this facility fared much worse with 3.26 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this figure is nearly double the national average.
