Creekview Nursing and Rehab Center

In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this facility really excelled in the category of inspections, where it received an A-. Few facilities performed better in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection ratings. 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 of these are relatively insignificant. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.

We also gave this facility a strong grade in short-term care. This nursing home earned a grade of B in this area, which turns out to be one of our better scores. In our short-term care rating, we strive to forge a sound barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients that were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of B- in this category. Our nursing rating is based on a number of factors. The most important one is the number of hours nurses spend with residents. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, our nursing ratings also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically a good indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses aids to assist its residents.

The final category we rated was long-term care, is this nursing home's worst category. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in this category. This is one of just a few weak points in a quality report card. When nursing homes receive this type of score in long-term care it is a bad sign for patient care and it may indicate that the place is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We discovered that this facility provided the vaccine to only 74.619286 percent of its residents, which is not a very encouraging sign. To our surprise, this facility was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
