Ormsby Post Acute Rehab

Although we did not rate this facility well overall, we want to point out its decent grade of B- in the category of nursing. Our nursing rating is primarily tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it scored well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.

This nursing home's second best category was short-term care. We awarded it a B- in this category. This is essentially a middle of the road score in this category. Our short-term care grades are critical for residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The real question is whether this adversely impacted quality of care. The last metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 5.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

This nursing home received its third highest category grade in the category of long-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of B- in this area, which is a respectable score. Our long-term care grade is used to gauge a facility's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services offered by a rehabilitation facility. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 88.495575 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

The last category we looked at is inspections. This nursing home did not receive favorable inspections in recent years. As a result, we gave it an F in this category. When a place has this bad of an inspection score, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to resident safety. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they caused a risk to patient health or safety. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.
