Crestview Center

On top of performing well in its overall grade, this facility performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A. Inspection scores weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this category typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. It does not look like we were able to find deficiency data for this nursing home. We wish we had more data for this nursing home. Without having access to complete deficiency related data, it was a challenge to fully assess this facility in the inspections category.

Another one of this facility's above average category scores came in the category of long-term care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. For prospective residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. After we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 92.446045 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Clearly, this place 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 one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

This nursing home's third best area was short-term care. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is basically a middle of the pack score in this area. Our short-term care ratings are considered to be more meaningful for those requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. This figure was below average.

The next area we scored was nursing. For that category, we gave this facility a grade of B-. The nursing rating features several factors. The most heavily weighted one is the amount of time nurses spend with residents. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. It performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
