Chateau D'ville Rehab and Retirement

We want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home outperformed its overall score in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our highest scores in that category with an A. Our inspection ratings account for several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this category usually have very few severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.

Additionally, we also wanted to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home received strong long-term care marks this year. We gave them one of our more favorable grades in this category, with a B. This turned out to be the facility's second highest score. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in long-term care it is typically a good sign for resident care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is more than the majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Unfortunately, this nursing home's third highest score is short-term care. As it turns out, with a grade of D in this area, it still fared somewhat poorly. Short-term care grades are typically used to gauge a nursing home's rehabilitation services In order to have highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. As you might expect, we discovered that this place provides far less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical facility. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.

The last category we looked at is nursing. It received an F for this area, which is an abysmal grade. This is certainly a significant concern. Nursing ratings are mostly associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This facility fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
