The Villages of General Baptist Health Care East

On top of having a decent overall score, we also wanted to note that this facility received favorable nursing marks this year. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a B+. This proved to be the facility's top score. Our nursing rating analyzes the facility's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of skill of the nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

One of this nursing home's more respectable category scores came in the area of long-term care. This wound up being its second most respectable category. In that area, we awarded this facility a B-. In calculating our long-term care ratings, we scrutinize the assistance with daily living received by a facility's patients. We were missing a few datapoints in determining this facility's long-term care rating, so this may not be quite as accurate as our other category grades.

This nursing home's third best area is short-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this area. This is basically a slightly below average score in this category. Our short-term care ratings are crucial for people seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a wide range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. It supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last item we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.

Looking to our final category of inspections, we gave this facility a grade of just just D, which is a relatively poor grade. Our inspection grade is based on the nursing home's inspection reports. Since this data is compiled by independent government inspectors, we place significant weight on it in our overall grades. One of the most important factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We suggest you scrutinize the level of severity of those deficiencies. This particular nursing home was hit with a deficiency by CMS. We were relieved to find that it was not in one of the categories that suggest that it created a threat to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility also received 5 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
