Rose Manor Health Care

On top of performing well in its overall grade, this nursing home performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively insignificant. This place received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This indicates that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies an immediate risk to resident health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.

This nursing home is also strong in the category of short-term care, where it was awarded a score of B+. It outpaced most facilities in this area. Short-term care scores are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. There are quite a few criteria included in this grade. Many of these criteria reflect the quantity of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home 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 frequently be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

The final area we scored is long-term care, in which we awarded it a strong grade of B. This nursing home truly does not have any weak spots. Nursing homes that excel in this category typically provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. Once we finished looking at the amount of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly can be a life or death condition for nursing home residents so we like it when a nursing home doesn't take any chances. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
