Grand Lake Villa

Grand Lake Villa is an average-sized nursing home located in Grove, Oklahoma. This nursing home received an overall rating of F. Keep in mind that Grove received a city grade of C, so should look at other options in the city as well. We wouldn't blame you if you are ready to stop reading and find another facility. However, if you want to learn more about this place's category grades, we will discuss inspections in the next paragraph.

While this place's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a C for that category, which is one of our better scores. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were category G through L deficiencies. This means the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to present an imminent danger to patient safety or health. Finally, we need to note that this facility was assessed some government fines recently. We were relieved to find that these were not on the high end as government fines go. That said, this still is not what we like to find.

This facility also didn't rate poorly in the area of short-term care. Indeed, we awarded it a C in that area, which is another one of its better scores. In calculating these short-term care grades, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to create a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the average facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. The final metric we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home performed better in this statistic. This place performed better than most facilities in this metric with 49.2 percent of its patients returning home. For most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.

As it turns out, this nursing home only received a grade of D for its long-term care rating, which is well below average in this category. For prospective patients looking for a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 94.5946 percent of its patients. Unfortunately, this nursing home's hospitalization rate was far less impressive. Here we found that this place had 2.44 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an alarming rate.

The next category we looked at is nursing. This facility received a rock bottom grade of F in this category. In calculating a facility's nursing score, we consider the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents and the level of licensure of those nurses. This particular nursing home provided 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below average. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this place also did not fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of residents experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This place had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average nursing home.
