Country Villa Pavilion Nursing Center

While we didn't give this nursing home a good overall score, we actually gave it a strong grade in nursing, where it earned a B+. This is better than most facilities in this category. Nursing grades are based largely on quality and quantity of nursing care. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

We also wanted to point out this nursing home's decent health inspections in recent years. We gave it somewhat respectable grade of C in this category. Inspection scores are based on several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. This nursing home had 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in categories G through L. This means that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to present an imminent risk to resident health or safety. Lastly, we want to point out that this nursing home was assessed government fines in recent years. Fortunately these were not on the high end as government fines go. That said, this is still not what we like to find.

As it turns out, this nursing home only received a grade of D for its short-term care score, which is well below average in this category. Short-term care ratings are based on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. With a grade in this range for this area, we weren't surprised to learn this place was below average in several staffing metrics we focus on. In fact, it supplied substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics sunk this facility's short-term care score.

Turning to the last area, this nursing home really didn't perform well in this category either. With a poor grade of F in long-term care, this is just about as terrible as it gets. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care scores. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is an above average statistic. To our surprise, this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
