Swansea Rehab Health Care is an average-sized facility located in Belleville, Illinois. This nursing home received an overall rating of F. Based on our ratings, this place probably isn't a good fit for anyone. Finally, we were surprised to learn that this facility received a decent score in our long-term care category. We provide more information on this category below.
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of B-. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 10 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. The nursing grade weighs a host of datapoints. The most important variable is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This facility provided 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is below the national average. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this facility also did not perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This facility had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average facility.

The third area we looked at is long-term care, where this nursing home was given an F. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in this category it is often a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the nursing home is not as well-staffed. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 91.875 percent of its patients. This is a few points lower than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable figure. To our surprise, this place was actually decent at limiting hospitalizations. Although it had 2.06 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic wasn't bad due to it having more complicated patients. This is its best feature in this category
The last category we rated was short-term care. This nursing home received a poor grade of F in that area. In the category of short-term care, we seek to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 41.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
