Crestview Center

In addition to being a first rate nursing home overall, this nursing home also excelled in our inspections category, where it received a grade of A+. Few nursing homes fared as well in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite minor. This facility received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This facility is also above average in the area of long-term care, where it received a score of B+. It performed more favorably than most facilities in this area. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 77.65363 percent of its patients, which is a bit less than we expected. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

The next area we assessed is short-term care, where this facility was awarded a B- in this area. In our short-term care score, we try to create a sound gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess a nursing home's offerings 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 all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final metric we considered in this area is the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home. This figure was below average.

Switching gears to the last area, this facility received a respectable nursing rating. While this isn't as good as several of its other scores, this is still not a major area of concern. There are several data points within this grade. Many of the subcategories reflect levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a somewhat concerning figure as it is well below the national average. Lastly, although this place got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of our quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this area.
