Eagleview Health and Rehabilitation

The primary reason this nursing home received a decent overall grade is its excellent government inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our better grades in that area, with an A-. This is a much better grade than the place's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively minor. This place received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to resident health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.

Another one of this facility's higher category scores came in the category of long-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B. It actually fared better than most facilities in this category. When facilities receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 98.78049 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a proven method to avoid unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the elderly population. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Additionally, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B in our short-term care category. This is one of our higher grades. Our short-term care grades are likely most critical for patients in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. It does not look like this nursing home provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

The final area we rated is nursing. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this area, which is a poor grade. This is clearly a significant concern. Nursing grades are tied to quality and quantity of nursing care. This facility averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is an alarmingly low total. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this facility also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of residents experiencing pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average facility.
