Seville Care Center

Seville Care Center is located in Salem, Missouri. This nursing home was awarded an uninspiring overall grade of D, which is a relatively poor grade. Salem received a city grade of B, so there are other options in the city worth looking at. The only positive thing we can really say about this nursing home is that it didn't receive any F's in in any of the major categories. More information about these categories can be found below.

While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that area, which is one of our highest scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some are quite minor. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an immediate risk to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

We also ended up giving this facility a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of C. Our nursing grade is primarily associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This place provides an impressive 3.9 hours of nursing care per patient per day. Lastly, our nursing scores also weigh quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed above average in this area.

This nursing home's next most favorable category turned out to be its long-term care score, where it was awarded a C. In the area of long-term care, we weigh the quantity of care offered by a nursing home, as opposed to more sophisticated services. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. We were pleased to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 99.4709 percent of its residents for pneumonia. The last statistic we assessed is its hospitalization rate. Here we found that this facility had 4.33 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Although this figure is somewhat concerning, this statistic may be skewed for some nursing homes due to the medical complexity of residents.

The next area we looked at was short-term care, which was a weak spot for this facility. We awarded this nursing home a D for the area of short-term care. Our short-term care grade is typically used to gauge a facility's rehabilitation services. To offer highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must provide better levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. Based on its score in this area, we weren't surprised to learn that this facility is well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the data we looked at. Honestly, this was what we expected here. Lastly, we considered the number of patients that eventually returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 40.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
