Crestview Care Center

In addition to earning a great overall score, this facility really excelled in the area of nursing, where it received an A. The nursing category analyzes quite a few components, many of which are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Inspections is another area where this facility excelled. We gave this facility an A for our inspections category. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies to create an immediate threat to resident health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.

The third highest area we awarded this nursing home in any area came in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a C. In the category of short-term care, we strive to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this nursing home submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The last measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.

The last category we looked at is long-term care. It received an abysmal F for this area, which is a rock bottom grade. This is obviously a major disappointment. For residents seeking a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinated 95.68346 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
