Roseville Point Health & Wellness Center

This facility really excelled in the area of short-term care, where it received a grade of A. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. If it was not for this area, this facility's overall grade would have been much lower. In determining these short-term care ratings, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to create a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last measure we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that 6.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. Nursing proved to be its second best category grade. In that area, we gave this facility an A. Our nursing grade weighs several components, most of which are tied to nursing hours. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by having a protocol of turning residents at least once a day.

We gave this nursing home a grade of just D for our long-term care grade. This is not a very good score. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. We were optimistic to find that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.

Moving on the last category of inspections, this ended up being this nursing home's weakest link. Inspection scores are based on a nursing home's recent government inspections. We gave this facility a score of D in this category, which is not good. Since this data is collected by government inspectors, we tend to take it pretty seriously. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. Generally, you should be more cautious when considering a facility with severe deficiencies on its inspection reports. This particular facility was assessed 3 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they created a risk to resident health or safety. Finally, we also want to point out that this place received large government fines totaling over $100,000. This typically indicates that a poor track record spanned several years.
