St Anthony's Nrsg & Rehab Center

St Anthony's Nrsg & Rehab Center is located in Rock Island, Illinois, a city with a population of 39,116 people. This nursing home was given a somewhat concerning overall grade of D, which is a relatively poor grade. Unfortunately, this grade isn't too far off the city grade for Rock Island, which is a C. Nevertheless, you still may be able to find a better option The only positive thing we can say about this nursing home is that it did not receive any F's in in any of the major categories. Additional information about its category grades can be found below.

Although we didn't rate this nursing home favorably overall, we actually awarded it an excellent grade in nursing, where it received an A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this particular category. Our nursing score is mostly based on a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility excelled in these areas, with excellent scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a facility provides.

One of this facility's more favorable category scores was in the area of short-term care. This proved to be its second best category. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of C. Our short-term care scores are believed to be most meaningful for people needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. We were surprised to find that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. The facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is still important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 28.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home. This figure was below the national average.

As it turns out, this facility only earned a grade of D for its long-term care rating, which is not one of our better scores. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents. Unfortunately, its hospitalization rate was not nearly as favorable. We found that this nursing home had 2.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a concerning rate.

Unfortunately, this nursing home did not receive a favorable inspection score. We gave it a grade of just just D in this category. Inspection scores relate to a nursing home's inspections. Inspection ratings factor in many items on the nursing home's inspection reports. If you find too many deficiencies on the reports, this is generally a bad sign. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to resident safety. This facility had a category G through L deficiency, which rank among the more serious deficiencies. These categories indicate that the deficiencies uncovered by inspectors had the potential to create actual harm to patients. Finally, this facility also received 30 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
