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. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

We also awarded this nursing home a positive grade in short-term care. This nursing home earned a B in this category, which turns out to be one of our more favorable grades. Our short-term care grade is generally used to score a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally must feature better levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. 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 this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last item we assessed in this category is the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that 5.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of C. When determining a nursing home's nursing score, we consider the number of hours nurses are caring for residents as well as the level of skill of the nurses. This nursing home provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a somewhat concerning figure which is well below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.

The next category we rated was long-term care, which proved to be this nursing home's worst area. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F in this area, which is clearly concerning. Nursing homes that don't score well in long-term care often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in a few of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We discovered that this facility provided the vaccine to only 73.23943 percent of its patients, which is several points lower than we expected. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
