The Blossoms Rehab & Nursing Center at Cumberland

This facility's best category grade came in the category of government inspections. In this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B+. It outperformed most nursing homes in this area. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this area typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor dings aren't necessarily the end of the world.

We also awarded this facility a favorable grade in nursing. This facility earned a grade of B in this category, which is one of our better grades. Our nursing grade is primarily tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

The third category we analyzed is short-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a decent grade of B-. Short-term care scores are critical for prospective residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below average.

The next category we looked at is long-term care. In this category, we awarded this facility a grade of C. For residents seeking a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. After considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate information about this nursing home's vaccination rates. Lastly, this place keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
