Warren Manor

In addition to being a first rate nursing home overall, this nursing home performed well in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of A+. Few nursing homes performed this well in this category. Our inspection grades are tied to items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this category typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies an immediate threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Among this nursing home's other accomplishments is its top-shelf long-term care score. It received one of our best grades in that area, with a grade of A-. For patients seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. Once we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 77.81457 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B in this area. In calculating a facility's nursing score, we consider the number of hours nurses commit to residents as well as the level of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

This facility's worst category was short-term care, which is the final area we looked at. In this area, we gave this nursing home a D. We want to to point out this potential weak spot, but you shouldn't focus exclusively on a single category either. In the category of short-term care, we strive to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. In this place's case, we found that it provided less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the average facility. The last item we considered 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 4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics was damning for this facility's short-term care grade.
