Wyatt Manor Nursing and Rehab Ctr

In addition to being a strong facility overall, this nursing home really excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of A+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.

This nursing home is also strong in the area of long-term care, where it was awarded a score of B+. It outpaced most facilities in this category. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 98.445595 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly is often a life or death condition for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

In addition, this facility also received favorable nursing grades this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. Our nursing grade analyzes several datapoints, but the paramount consideration is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Moving on to our next category, this nursing home received a respectable short-term care grade of B-. In determining our short-term care scores, we scrutinize the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. This rating is more often than not a meaningful assessment of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this facility submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The last metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
