Roseville Point Health & Wellness Center

In addition to being a quality facility overall, this facility really excelled at short-term care, where it received an A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. In calculating our short-term care grades, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to devise a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 6.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. In fact, nursing proved to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this facility an A. Nursing scores are heavily correlated with nurse staffing levels. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of moving residents more often.

This facilities next most favorable area is long-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this area. This is essentially a slightly below average grade in this category. With our long-term care rating, we focus on the amount of services provided by a nursing home, as well as some quality datapoints. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is better than most nursing homes. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Moving on our final category, inspections proved to be this nursing home's worst area. It received a C in this area. Inspection scores are based on a facility's government inspection reports. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were category G through L deficiencies. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident health or safety. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
