Clearview Brain Injury Center

On top of being a first rate facility overall, this facility also excelled in our inspections category, where it received an A+. Very few nursing homes fared as well in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively insignificant. We were not able to find deficiency data for this facility. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Another reason we assessed this nursing home so favorably is that it was given an A+ long-term care grade. This is just about as elite as it gets in this area. Facilities that receive this type of grade in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are kept in good health. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 96.82539 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A in that category. Nursing scores are mostly based on a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Moving on to the fourth category, this nursing home was given a highly favorable short-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- in that area, giving this facility straight A's. Our short-term care ratings are probably more important for those requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically requires more highly-skilled nursing. This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The last statistic we assessed in this category is the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
