Crossview Care Center

This place did not perform quite as poorly in the area of long-term care. In fact, we gave it a C for that category. Our long-term care grade is often used to gauge a facility's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services offered by a skilled nursing facility. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. We were pleased to learn that this facility vaccinates 98.29352 percent of its patients against pneumonia. This place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

We wanted to point out that this facility earned an F for its inspection rating. An F in this category is especiallY troublesome because it usually points to red flags on the facility's government inspection reports. For places that received this bad of an inspection grade, we recommend scrutinizing any severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This facility had 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they caused a risk to resident health or safety. Finally, we also would like to point out that this place received significant government fines recently of more than $100,000. This typically means that a nursing home'spoor track record spanned more than one year.

This facility ended up receiving rock bottom score in our nursing category. It received an F in this category. Nursing ratings are tied to nurse staffing levels. This place offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

The last area we assessed was short-term care, where this facility received a very poor grade in this area as well. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F in this area, which is definitely a major concern. Our short-term care ratings are crucial for people seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Given its poor grade in this area, we weren't surprised to find this place provided far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, about half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
