Haven of Phoenix

We want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home really outperformed its overall score in the area of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our highest scores in that area with an A. Our inspection grades account for several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this category tend to have few severe deficiencies. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate information about this nursing home's deficiencies. Without having access to complete deficiency related data for this facility, it ended up being challenging to really evaluate the place in the inspections category.

This nursing home was given its next best category score in the area of short-term care. We gave this facility a grade of B- in this category, which is a reasonably acceptable grade. In our short-term care score, we attempt to forge a sound measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at a nursing home's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The last item we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 6.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

This nursing home's third most favorable area was long-term care. We gave it a B- in this area. This is essentially a slightly below average score in this area. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 98.14815 percent of its patients. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

The next category we graded is nursing. We gave this facility a grade of C in this category. Nursing scores are tied to quantity of nursing care available. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this place performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place.
