The Blossoms Rehab & Nursing Center at White Hall

This facility received an inspection score which is better than its overall grade. Inspection scores are associated with the nursing home's recent inspections. We awarded this nursing home a very solid grade of B+ in this area. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Based on this, we had a generally positive view of this nursing home's recent inspections.

One of this nursing home's higher category scores came in the area of short-term care. This wound up being its second most favorable category. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. Our short-term care scores are likely most critical for those needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. The last metric we looked at in this category is the percentage 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 residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of C. Our nursing grade is based on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of skill of the nurses and the number of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, while this place got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of our quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared well in this statistic.

Moving on to the next area, this facility was given a grade of C for long-term care, which is a decent rating. For prospective residents in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate information about this nursing home's vaccination rates. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
