The Villas Post Acute Care Rehab

One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ short-term care grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. In the area of short-term care, we seek to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 7.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Adding to its impressive resume, this nursing home also excelled in our nursing category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category. Our nursing score is mostly associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Racking up yet another strong category grade, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area tend to have few severe deficiencies. This place was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an immediate threat to resident health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

In the last category we scored, this facility was given an impressive grade grade of B+ in our long-term care category. With this score, the facility rounded out an elite report card. For prospective residents looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down information on vaccination rates. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
