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 98.39358 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.

This facility's third most favorable area is its short-term care grade, where it was given a B-. Our short-term care ratings are considered to be most critical for patients requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional skilled nursing. This includes not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. It doesn't look like this facility submitted registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The last metric we considered in this category is the percentage of residents that returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

The next area we scored was nursing. We gave this facility a grade of D in nursing, leaving this as the nursing home's worst category grade. The nursing grade considers several data points. The most heavily weighted variable is the number of hours nurses spend with residents. This particular place offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This figure is far below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility fared well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these statistics to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
