Grandview Health Care Center

The main reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it received an elite inspection score. In fact, its inspection grade was far better than its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave it an A. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was hit with 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of C in this category. Our nursing score is largely associated with the facility's level of nurse staffing. This place averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily, which is not an impressive total. Lastly, although this place got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of our quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this statistic.

This nursing home's next most favorable area is long-term care. We gave it a C in this area. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. We were disappointed to learn that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 60.465115 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

The final category we scored is short-term care, which ended up being this facility's worst area. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in this area. In our short-term care assessment, we try to craft a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess the facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. With a grade in this range in this area, we weren't stunned to discover this place was well below average in many staffing metrics we looked at. It provided substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most nursing homes. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
