Cityview Nursing & Rehab Center

Neither this facility's overall grade nor its category scores gave us anything to write home about. This place's best category was nursing, but even there it received just a D. Our nursing score is mostly based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This place fared well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Sadly, this facility's next most respectable category is short-term care. As it turns out, with a grade of D in this area, it still performed somewhat poorly. With our short-term care category, we attempt to create a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess the facility's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Considering its score in this category, we weren't surprised to learn that this facility was well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the figures we assessed. The last item we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home. This was quite a bit below the national average.

Unfortunately, with a grade of D in the inspection category, this facility performed relatively poorly in that area. Inspection scores weigh many items found on the nursing home's recent inspection reports. If you find severe deficiencies on the inspection reports, this is generally a bad sign. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. This facility was assessed 6 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, we also need to point out that this place received significant government fines in recent years of more than $100,000. This usually means that a nursing home's poor performance spanned several years.

The last area we assessed is long-term care, in which this facility was given a bottom of the barrel grade in this category as well. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this area, which is definitely very concerning. For residents looking for a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. We were pleased to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 99.72973 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
