Casa Real

Unfortunately, we did not have any positive things to say about this facility's overall grade or its category grades. Nevertheless, with a grade of D in this category, it still performed poorly. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. We were pleased to learn that this facility vaccinated 98.885796 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.

We awarded this nursing home a grade of just D for our short-term care rating and that actually turned out to be its second most respectable category. In computing our short-term care scores, we look at the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This area is considered to be a reliable assessment of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. With its weak score in this category, we were not stunned to learn this nursing home offers significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. The last statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.2 percent of its patients returning home.

We also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's poor nursing grade where it received an F. The nursing rating is based on several factors, but the paramount one is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these datapoints to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Turning our final category of inspections, this nursing home received an F here. We would advise paying close attention to any deficiencies on a facility's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection grade. We would scrutinize the severity of the deficiencies. This facility was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they caused a threat to patient safety or health. Lastly, we would like to point out that this place received significant government fines of more than $100,000. This usually means that a bad performance has been an issue for more than one year.
