Rose Haven Nursing Home

The primary reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it received an elite inspection grade. In fact, its inspection grade was far superior to its overall score. In our inspections category, we gave this facility an A. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A few relatively minor deficiencies are not necessarily something to panic about.

One of this facility's better category grades came in the area of long-term care. This proved to be its second most respectable category. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. With our long-term care grade, we focus on the sheer volume of services offered by a facility, along with a series of quality datapoints. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinated 99.4012 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of B-. Our nursing rating is mostly based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a low total compared with most nursing homes. Finally, although this place got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in some of our quality measures. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it did very well in this area.

Our final area is short-term care, where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C in that area. Our short-term care ratings are considered to be more meaningful for people requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires more skilled nursing. This means not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
