Crestview Court

To pair with its strong overall performance, we gave this place an A+ for the area of inspections. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to create an immediate risk to resident safety or health. A couple minor dings are not necessarily the end of the world.

Another one of this nursing home's quality category grades came in the category of short-term care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that category, with a grade of B. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to judge a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to provide quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Unfortunately, we were not able to find information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 6.4 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

The next category we analyzed is long-term care, where this facility received a grade of B- in this area. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the factors we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This place keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Moving on to the fourth category, this nursing home received a respectable nursing grade of C. Nursing scores are primarily based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure as it is well below the national average. Lastly, nursing scores also consider quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically a reliable indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses aids to assist its patients.
