Peabody Retirement Community is a large non-profit facility in North Manchester, Indiana. It looks like this facility is a relatively poor nursing home. A score of this caliber suggests we found a few red flags. This was not the worse facility we found, however, we would still be very reluctant to recommend it. We wouldn't blame you if you're ready to stop reading and find another nursing home. However, if you want to learn more about this nursing home's category grades, inspection reports are discussed in the next paragraph.

Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall score is not a highlight, it actually received a somewhat respectable score in the area of inspections. We awarded it a B- for that area, which is not bad. We would argue that one of the most important factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially focus on the severity of those deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. In addition to having severe deficiencies, 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.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which is not a bad score. Our nursing rating is largely based on a nursing home's nurse staffing. This place provides 4.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is better than average. In computing our scores, we apply more weight to hours performed by more highly skilled nurses such as registered or licensed nurses. Finally, we also considered quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This place was above average in many of the major metrics we focus on, including minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are usually good indicators of the quality of nursing care available.
Short-term Care Quality
The third most favorable category we awarded this facility in any category came in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a vast spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical facility. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients that were able to return home from this nursing home. It performed respectably in this metric with 45.5 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our last category, this nursing home received a grade of B- for long-term care, which is a respectable grade. Long-term care ratings are based on the nursing home's volume of nursing services. This means a broad spectrum of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine medical services. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 93.55878 percent of its patients for pneumonia. The last statistic we looked at was its hospitalization rate. Here we found that this place had a relatively high 3.23 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Neither its vaccination record nor its hospitalization rate were strengths for this nursing home in this category.
