Advanced Health Care of Las Vegas

We also wanted to point out that this nursing home earned near flawless health inspections recently. We awarded them an A+ in this category. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

This facility also was given an A+ short-term care grade, rendering it one of the few nursing homes to be awarded multiple A+ category grades. In our short-term care category, we endeavor to craft a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze a facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A in our nursing category. We assessed the levels of nurses working for the facility, as well as the quantity of hours the nurses were with residents, in determining our score in this area. This nursing home provides 0.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

The last category we assessed is long-term care, where this nursing home was given a grade of B-. While this is its lowest category grade, this is still a middle of the pack score. For prospective residents seeking a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find this place's vaccination data. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
