Raintree Manor

Unfortunately, we didn't have any good things to write about this facility's overall grade or its category grades. Its best area is the area of inspections. Nevertheless, with just a D in this area, it still performed poorly. One of the more significant factors in assessing inspection reports is deficiencies. We recommend you scrutinize the level of severity of the deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 6 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they caused a threat to resident safety or health. Finally, we also need to point out that this facility received large government fines totaling over $100,000. This typically signifies that a poor track record spanned several years.

Additionally, we gave this facility a rock-bottom F in the area of long-term care. Facilities that don't fare well in long-term care often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. We were concerned by the fact that this facility vaccinated only 82.38994 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.

In addition, we gave this facility an F in the area of nursing care. Our nursing rating looks at the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the amount of time spent with residents. This nursing home provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This facility fared well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these metrics to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.

The next area we scored is short-term care, in which this facility received a bottom of the barrel grade in this category also. We gave it a lowly F in this area, which is obviously very concerning. In our short-term care category, we strive to craft a fair measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at a facility's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Given its grade in this category, we were not surprised to find that this nursing home is well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the figures we looked at. Honestly, this was what we expected to find. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics was damning for this facility's short-term care score.
