Regency Manor Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

One of the reasons this place received a great overall grade is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility an A-. We weighed the licensure of nurses employed by the facility, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses worked with residents, in calculating our rating in this area. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

This nursing home also performed well in inspections, which is based on the facility's government inspections. We awarded it an B+ for that area. Arguably the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better grades in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

The third area we graded is short-term care. This facility received an impressive short-term care score, with a grade of B in the category. In the category of short-term care, we strive to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

This nursing home's least impressive category was long-term care, which is the final area we assessed. In this area, we awarded this facility a grade of D. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in this category it is typically a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the place is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to a relatively low 67.77778 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
