Mayfair Care Center

Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B- for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This indicates that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to resident health or safety. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.

We were also stunned to find that this facility received a reasonably solid long-term care rating this year. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. In our long-term care category, we focus more on the volume of services provided by a facility, as well as a series of quality datapoints. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. We were disappointed to learn that this nursing home vaccinated only 84.39597 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Nevertheless, this nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

In addition, we gave this facility an F in the area of nursing care. We scrutinized the skill-level of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the quantity of hours those nurses spent with residents, in determining our score in this area. This nursing home averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is well below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Moving on to our fourth area, this facility did not fare very well in this category either. Due to a rock bottom grade of F in short-term care, this is just about as bad as it gets. Our short-term care scores are crucial for individuals needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Considering its score in this area, we weren't stunned to discover that this nursing home is well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the figures we looked at. Honestly, this was what we expected to find. The final item we considered in this area is the number of patients who returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 3.2 percent of its patients returning home. This was well below average.
