Warrensburg Manor Care Center

Warrensburg Manor Care Center is one of four available facilities located in Warrensburg, Missouri. We awarded this nursing home an overall rating of B, resulting in it being the number one facility in the city. As far as we can see, this nursing home looks like a good fit for most people. More information on this facility's category grades may be found below. Its best category was long-term care, which is addressed in the next section.

On top of performing well in its overall score, this facility earned even higher grades in the area of long-term care. In fact, it received one of our highest scores in that category with an impressive grade of A+. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care typically provide residents with more supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 98.73418 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is often a life threatening ailment for nursing home patients so we prefer when a facility doesn't take any chances. Finally, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. We found that this place had 2.18 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.

Adding to its impressive category grades, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Our inspection grades are based on several datapoints found on the a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Turning to the category of nursing care, this facility didn't perform quite as well in this area as some of the categories discussed above. Nevertheless, a grade of B- in this category is by no means a bad score. Our nursing rating is largely tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This place provides 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we were hoping for. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based measures, such as preventing major falls. Although this facility didn't have as many nursing hours as many other nursing homes we looked at, it was still better than average in the area of preventing major falls.

The final area we rated was short-term care, proved to be this nursing home's weakest category. We gave this facility a grade of D in this area. This really is one of just a few weak links in a very solid report card. Our short-term care scores are probably most meaningful for patients requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically requires additional skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. In this nursing home's case, it looks like it provided less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical facility. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This was not a strength for this facility. We found that just 43.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, about half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
