Quinton Manor

With an overall grade this high, it should come as no surprise that this nursing home excelled in inspections, where it earned an A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively minor. While this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This means that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Adding to its strong resume, this facility also received an excellent nursing score, with a grade of A-. Our nursing rating is mostly tied to a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

This nursing home also was given a favorable long-term care grade. Indeed, we gave it an above average grade of B+ in this category. For prospective residents in need of a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 92.42424 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be a bit lower than we anticipated but still a decent percentage. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Moving on to the final category, this facility received an excellent short-term care grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of B+ in that area, completing one of our finer report cards. Our short-term care grades are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
