Roosevelt Care Center

One of the reasons this place turned out to be a quality nursing home is it earned an A+ in our inspections category. This is as good as it gets in this category. Inspection grades are based on several pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies an imminent risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This nursing home also was given a very strong short-term care grade. This actually turned out to be this nursing home's second most impressive category grade. In that category, this facility received a score of A. Our short-term care grades are vital for individuals needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 6.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Turning our third category, we awarded this nursing home a score of A- for its long-term care score. This is a dominant rating. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 91.935486 percent of its residents. This is a few points below what we anticipated but still a respectable percentage. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

In the last category we looked at, this nursing home received a very strong grade of A- in our nursing category. With this grade, the nursing home rounded out a straight A profile. Nursing grades are mostly tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
