Bonview Rehabilitation and Healthcare

Bonview Rehabilitation and Healthcare is one of 10 options in Richmond, Virginia. We gave this nursing home an overall score of F. Based on our assessment, this place is not a fit for anyone. Finally, we were surprised to learn that this place earned a decent grade in the area of long-term care. You can find additional information on this category below.

While this facility's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is one of our better scores. Inspection ratings are based on several datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were category G through L deficiencies. This indicates inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.

Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. Unfortunately, this ended up being one of its better grades. Our nursing grade is primarily tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This place averaged only 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident daily. In addition to receiving below average scores for total nursing hours, this nursing home was less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and found that this place was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in this metric. This is a bad sign when you consider that so many pressure ulcers are preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, this statistic dragged down this nursing home's nursing grade substantially.

The next area we analyzed is long-term care, in which this facility was given an F. Nursing homes that don't fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 92.41803 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is somewhat lower than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable figure. To our surprise, this nursing home was not as bad as we expected at keeping its residents out of the hospital. While it had 2.46 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score was not bad since it had more complex patients.

Switching gears to the fourth area, this facility did not perform well in this category either. With a rock bottom grade of F in short-term care, this is just about as bad as it gets. With our short-term care grade, we seek to forge a valuable gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at the nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Based on its grade in this category, we weren't surprised to learn that this facility is well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we looked at. Frankly, this was about what we expected to find. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 40.1 percent of its residents returning home. This was well below average.
