Mayfield Health Center turns out to be one of a list of 84 nursing homes in Chicago, Illinois. The city has quite a few more options to choose from compared to most other cities in Illinois. With a bottom of the barrel overall grade of F, this facility didn't fare well in our assessment. Keep in mind that Chicago received a city grade of C, so should consider other options in the city as well. Surprisingly, this nursing home actually received one respectable category grade for inspections, which you can read more about below.

Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. Our inspection grades weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. Unfortunately, this ended up being one of its better grades. In computing our nursing scores, we analyze both staffing levels and the training levels of those nurses. This place provided only 3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is well below average. In addition to receiving below average marks for nursing hours, this facility was less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of patients suffering pressure ulcers and found this nursing home was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in this statistic. This is a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. This statistic really pulled down this nursing home's nursing score significantly.
Short-term Care Quality
Our third area we looked at was short-term care, in which this nursing home was given an F. In determining our short-term care ratings, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our goal is to formulate a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Given its poor grade in this area, we were not shocked to find this facility offers far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 41 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our next category, this facility didn't perform well in this category either. With a very poor grade of F in long-term care, this is just about as as uninspiring as it gets. Facilities that do not fare well in this category often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in some of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. One of the data points we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 80.66914 percent of its patients. Unfortunately, this nursing home's hospitalization rate was also disappointing. Here we found that this place had 2.33 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an alarming rate.
