Crestview Home

While we gave this nursing home an abysmal overall grade, we awarded it a C for our nursing rating. In computing a nursing home's nursing rating, we look at the amount of time nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics. While this nursing home got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of these quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this metric. This is typically a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as having a system of turning a patient even once per day.

This facility's next most favorable category is short-term care, but it still received a grade of just D in that area. This is still a relatively poor score. Our short-term care grade is often employed to score a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To offer highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have better levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. With its grade in this area, we were not stunned to find that this nursing home was well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the data we assessed. Honestly, this was about what we expected here. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.

This nursing home's second lowest score is long-term care, where it earned a grade of just D in that area. This is a well below average score. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care may not provide the type of consistent around the clock care that some other facilities offer. After we finished assessing the volume of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated only 58.14978 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.

Turning our last category of inspections, this facility received a terrible score. For places with poor inspection scores, you should focus on any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This nursing home had one category J through K deficiency, which rank among the worst categories of deficiencies. This generally means that inspectors identified a deficiency which places resident health or safety in imminent danger. Finally, we need to draw your attention to the fact that this place received significant government fines in recent years of over $100,000. This typically signifies that a nursing home's poor track record spanned more than one year.
