Rose Haven Retreat

Although we gave this facility a very weak overall grade, it did receive a slightly better grade in long-term care. We gave it a B- in that category. This was better than its other grades. For patients looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is a very solid statistic. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

We actually gave this facility a very solid score in the area of inspections as well. We gave it a B- in this category. Inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. While this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is not a bad score. Our nursing score weighs many components, however, the main one is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a low total compared with most other nursing homes. Lastly, while this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of our quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this area.

Switching gears to our last area, this facility did not fare very well in this category either. With an abysmal grade of F in short-term care, this is really as as uninspiring as it gets. With our short-term care grade, we attempt to craft a sound measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess the nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Considering its poor rating in this category, we weren't surprised to discover this facility offers far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most facilities. The final datapoint we assessed in this area is the number of residents that were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.6 percent of its residents returning home.
