Cedar Wood Villa

This nursing home earned an inspection score which is stronger than its overall rating. Inspection ratings are tied to a facility's recent government inspections. We awarded this nursing home a very solid grade of B+ in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively minor. While this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

This facility also excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B+. Few facilities performed better in this area. Our nursing score is largely tied to the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 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 many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

This nursing home received its third best category score in the category of short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of B- in this area, which is an acceptable grade. Our short-term care ratings are important for residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a vast spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical facility. The last metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

The final category we looked at is long-term care, which turned out to be this facility's least impressive area. We awarded this facility a D in that area. Facilities that receive this kind of score in this category may not provide the kind of consistent around the clock care that some other nursing homes provide. One of the data points we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. We were a bit concerned this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 70.63492 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
