Mission Manor Healthcare Residence

Although we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable nursing rating this year. We gave it a C in that category. The nursing grade includes several datapoints, most of which are tied to nursing hours. This nursing home provided just 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures. While this facility got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of these quality metrics. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared well in this area. This can be a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by having a system of turning patients more frequently.

Sadly, this nursing home's second best score is long-term care. Nevertheless, with a D in this area, it still performed relatively badly. Long-term care grades in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated a relatively low 87.30159 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.

Turning to the category of short-term care, this nursing home was given a grade of just D in that area. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Considering its score in this area, we weren't surprised to discover that this place is well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the figures we assessed. Honestly, this was what we expected to find. The last item we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 5 percent of its residents returning home.

Moving on the last category of inspections, this nursing home fared very poorly. It received an F in our inspection category. When a nursing home has this poor of an inspection score, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This particular nursing home was assessed a category J or K deficiency, which are among the worst categories of deficiencies. Another red flag is that CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.
