Rosewood Care Center of Galesburg

The main reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it received an excellent inspection grade. In fact, its inspection score was far superior to its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave this facility an A+. Our inspection ratings are tied to datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this category have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This particular nursing home received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

One of this nursing home's more respectable category scores came in the area of long-term care. This wound up being its second best category. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. Our long-term care ratings are more meaningful for individuals in need of more traditional assistance related to personal care. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 97.98995 percent of its residents. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

The third category we analyzed is short-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a decent grade of C. With our short-term care grade, we attempt to forge a sound barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess a nursing home's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. It doesn't look like this nursing home provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The last item we considered in this category is the number of residents that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Moving on to the last area, this nursing home really did not fare well. Due to a very poor grade of F in nursing, this is this facility's weakest area. Our nursing score is largely based on a facility's nurse staffing. With just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, this place's nurse staffing levels were far below the national average. In addition to receiving below average marks for nursing hours, this place was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and found that this place was at roughly 150 percent of the national average in this statistic. This is a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, this statistic pulled down this facility's nursing score significantly.
