Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to faring well overall, this nursing home also received nearly flawless government inspections. As a result, it earned one of our best grades in that area with an A+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite minor. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor dings aren't the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Contributing to its dominant profile, this nursing home also performed well in our short-term care area. In fact, we gave it a score of A in the area. Our short-term care scores are presumably most critical for residents requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally requires more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not only nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A in that category. Our nursing grade is based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of licensure of those nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of turning residents even once per day.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Switching gears to the next category, this nursing home was awarded a highly favorable long-term care rating. Even though this is not nearly as impressive as several of its other scores, this is still one of the stronger scores a facility can receive. For prospective patients seeking a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. After considering the quantity of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 80.51948 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Gateway Vista Quality Metrics

Minimizes Pressure Ulcers

Grade: B-plus

In Gateway Vista, 6.61% of Patients had Pressure Ulcers

This indicates the percentage of patients who sustained a pressure ulcer. Pressure ulcers, also known as bed sores, are routinely caused by patients staying in one position for too long. Better nursing protocols can limit the percentage of residents in a nursing home who sustain pressure ulcers.

Minimizes Serious Falls

Grade: B

In Gateway Vista, 3.25% of Patients had Serious Falls

This indicates the percentage of patients who suffered from a major fall. Falls resulting in major injuries are considered by many in the nursing home industry to be a measure of nursing care at a nursing home. Major falls leading to injury are routinely caused by lower quality nursing care.

Minimizes Urinary Tract Infections

Grade: A-minus

In Gateway Vista, 0.7% of Patients had UTIs

This statistic tells you the percent of long-term patients who sustained urinary tract infections. UTI's could be an indicator of poor nursing care. However, this statistic can be skewed for some nursing homes due to inconsistent reporting standards for urinary tract infections.

Appropriately Uses Anti-Psychotic Medication

Grade: B

In Gateway Vista, 14.29% of Patients use Anti-Psychotic Medication

This is the percent of residents who were prescribed antipsychotic medications. Antipsychotic drugs are prescribed to patients for a variety of conditions, such as Alzheimer's or other dementias.
