Haven Health - Show Low

We want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home outperformed its overall score in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our highest scores in that category with an A-. Our inspection ratings are tied to many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this area tend to have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This place received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies an imminent threat to resident safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.

This nursing home also was awarded a strong short-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B+ in this category, which is one of our better. In the category of short-term care, we strive to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.5 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-, which is a decent grade. There are quite a few criteria included in this area. Most of the subcategories relate to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This place provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a much lower figure than we were hoping for. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility surprisingly excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it scored well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the quantity of hours of care provided.

The final category we graded is long-term care, which ended up being this nursing home's worst area. We gave it an F for this area, which is clearly very concerning. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in this category may not provide the type of consistent around the clock care that some other nursing homes provide. After we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. We were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated only 72.22222 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
