Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To go along with its decent overall score, we gave this facility an A+ for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall grade. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite insignificant. Although this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor dings are not necessarily something to panic about.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this facility's higher category scores came in the category of long-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of B. It actually performed better than most facilities in this category. For prospective residents in need of a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 93 percent of its residents. This is a bit less than we anticipated but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facilities third best category is short-term care. We awarded it a grade of C in this area. This is essentially a slightly below average score in this category. In computing our short-term care ratings, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to devise a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. It does not appear that this facility submitted registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 4.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The next category we looked at is nursing, which turned out to be this facility's worst category. It received an abysmal F in this area, which is clearly a major concern. There are numerous factors included in this grade. Most of the factors are tied to staffing levels. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is well below average. In addition to receiving below average marks for total nursing hours, this nursing home was less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and found this nursing home was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this metric.

Whispering Pines Nursing & Rehab Center Quality Metrics

Minimizes Pressure Ulcers

Grade: D

In Whispering Pines Nursing & Rehab Center, 13.9% of Patients had Pressure Ulcers

This indicates the percent of residents who suffered from a pressure ulcer. Pressure ulcers, also known as bed sores, are routinely caused by residents not being moved frequently enough. Better nursing care minimizes the percentage of residents in a nursing home who sustain pressure ulcers.

Minimizes Serious Falls

Grade: B

In Whispering Pines Nursing & Rehab Center, 3% of Patients had Serious Falls

This figure gauges the percentage of long-term residents that had a fall resulting in major injury. Falls can happen for a variety of reasons, but high rates of falls resulting in injuries could be an indicator of lower levels of patient supervision.

Minimizes Urinary Tract Infections

Grade: B-minus

In Whispering Pines Nursing & Rehab Center, 2.53% of Patients had UTIs

This tells you the percentage of residents that sustained a urinary tract infection. Urinary tract infections are considered by many experts to be an indicator of the quality of nursing care at a nursing home. UTI's are often linked to a facility with lower levels of hygiene. Nevertheless, this datapoint can also be skewed for some nursing homes due to inconsistent reporting standards for these infections.

Appropriately Uses Anti-Psychotic Medication

Grade: A

In Whispering Pines Nursing & Rehab Center, 6.67% of Patients use Anti-Psychotic Medication

This is the percentage of patients who were given antipsychotic medications. Antipsychotic drugs are prescribed to patients for many medical conditions, including cognitive disorders. Tragically, in limited situations, excessive reliance on these medications may suggest a nursing home is using these drugs to subdue residents.

Appropriately Uses Anti-Anxiety Medication

Grade: A

In Whispering Pines Nursing & Rehab Center, 9% of Patients use Anti-Anxiety Medication

This indicates the percent of patients who were given antianxiety medications. Antianxiety medications are given to patients experiencing anxiety or depression.

This datapoint measures the percentage of long-term stay residents who are exhibiting signs of depression. Many argue that this is a measure of resident quality of care.

This metric is a measure of the percent of long-term patients who were vaccinated against pneumonia and flu.

Residents Maintain Autonomy

Grade: D

In Whispering Pines Nursing & Rehab Center, 21.69% of Patients

This metric is a measure of the percentage of long-term care patients that required increased assistance with activities of daily living over time. ADL's include activities such as dressing and taking a bath. Some would argue this is a reasonable measure of a resident's well-being.

Ability to Keep Residents Mobile

Grade: A-plus

In Whispering Pines Nursing & Rehab Center, 38.61% of Residents

This tells you the percent of patients who were able to retain mobility over time. Preserving mobility is often a good sign for residents' well-being.

Hospitalizations

Grade: F

This tells you the number of hospitalizations per 1,000 days of patient care. There is usually a correlation between avoiding hospitalizations and the quality of care.

Short-term Care: Rehospitalizations

Grade: F

In Whispering Pines Nursing & Rehab Center, 38.61% of Residents Rehospitalized

This indicates the number of times residents are rehospitalized per thousand days of short-term care.

This is a measure of the number of times residents are sent to the emergency room per thousand days of short-term patient care.
