Sanctuary at Wilmington Place

Sanctuary at Wilmington Place is located in Dayton, Ohio, which features quite a few nursing homes. This nursing home received an overall grade of C, which is a middle of the road grade. This grade is right in line with the city grade in Dayton, which admittedly is admittedly a little below average nationally. One of the highlights of this nursing home's report card is its strong inspection rating, which you can find in the next section.

The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall score is its excellent health inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better scores in that category, with an A-. This is a notably better score than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but certainly not elite. Our inspection grades account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this area usually have few severe deficiencies. This place was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies an immediate risk to patient health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Another one of this facility's more impressive category grades came in the area of short-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B+. It actually outpaced most facilities in this area. In determining these short-term care scores, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to devise a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides a greater volume of physical therapist hours to its residents than the average nursing home. Finally, we looked at the number of patients that were able to return home from this facility. In addition to excelling in the area of physical therapy hours, we found that it performed as well as just about any nursing home with 59.7 percent of its patients returning home. Most facilities are below 50 percent in this statistic.

This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of C. Our nursing grade is mostly tied to a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provided 4.1 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, which was among the higher totals we found. Finally, we baked a few quality measures into our nursing scores. This place fared poorly in two of the major metrics we considered, with below average marks for minimizing its patients' major falls and pressure ulcers.

The next area we scored was long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F in this area, which is an abysmal score. This is obviously a major disappointment. When facilities receive this kind of grade in this category it is often a bad sign for resident care and it may indicate that the nursing home is not as well-staffed. Although we determined this facility had an above average amount of nursing care provided by nurses and other nursing staff, we found its vaccine statistics to be somewhat low. This facility gave the pneumonia vaccine to just 82.35294 percent of its residents. This is a figure we would love to see this facility bring up. Surprisingly, this nursing home wasn't as bad as we expected at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Although it had 2.05 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score was not bad since it had more complex patients.
