Golden Hill Rehab Pavilion

To go along with its relatively modest overall score, we gave this nursing home an A for our inspections rating. This grade is far better than its overall rating. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with better scores in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to be an immediate risk to resident safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

One of this facility's more respectable category grades came in the category of long-term care. This turned out to be its second most favorable category. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. In calculating our long-term care scores, we scrutinize the assistance with daily living offered to the facility's residents. It looks like we were unable to track down some of this nursing home's data for this category. Without having access to all of the long-term care related data for this nursing home, it ended up being a challenge to grade it in terms of this category.

This nursing home's next most favorable area was short-term care. We awarded it a B- in this area. This is basically a middle of the road score in this category. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. We weren't able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.

The last category we assessed is nursing. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of C. There are several subcategories included in this area. Most of these data points are tied to staffing levels. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, we look at quality-based statistics, such as the percent of patients who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. These data points are decent measures of the quality of nursing care.
