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.

We also wanted to point out this facility's inspection score where it received a lowly F. This generally means we found some red flags on its inspection reports. We would advise paying special attention to any deficiencies on a facility's inspection reports when it receives this poor of an inspection rating. We would scrutinize the level of severity of those deficiencies. This particular nursing home was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they created a risk to patient safety or health. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.

The third area we looked at was long-term care, where this nursing home received an F. Facilities that don't score well in long-term care often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in some of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this nursing home vaccinated 70.77748 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be significantly below average. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.

The last category we looked at was short-term care. This nursing home was given a rock bottom grade of F in this area. In the area of short-term care, we try to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides substantially less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than a typical nursing home. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most facilities, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
