Galleria Residence and Rehabilitation Center

One of the reasons this place received a great overall grade is that it received a very impressive nursing score. Nursing actually ended up being its best category. In that category, we awarded this facility an A-. In determining our nursing ratings, we analyze both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

This nursing home was awarded high grades in the area of short-term care as well. Indeed, we gave it one of our best scores in that category with a score of A-. Short-term care scores are important for individuals looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires more highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Adding another impressive category grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+ for our inspections category. Arguably the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This tells you the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.

Turning to the final area, this facility received an acceptable long-term care rating. Although this was not quite as good as several of its other scores, this is truly not the end of the world. Our long-term care scores are meaningful for patients seeking personal care. After we finished looking at the amount of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinates 98.27586 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
