Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

The main thing propping up this facility's profile is its elite nursing grade. In fact, we awarded this facility an A- in that category. Nursing scores are based largely on quantity of nursing care available. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's short-term care score appears to be one of its respectable grades. The nursing home was awarded a B- in this area. Our short-term care ratings are presumably more meaningful for individuals requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of skilled nursing. This includes not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the average facility. The hope is that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 4.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The third area we looked at is long-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a decent grade of C. In a long-term care setting, the facility'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. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to only 43.000004 percent of its patients, which is somewhat concerning. Nevertheless, this facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Turning our last category of inspections, this nursing home received a horrible grade. With an F in the inspection category, this nursing home's overall grade was adversely affected. When a facility has this bad of an inspection grade, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This facility had 3 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they created a risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility also received 56 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.

Grade: D

In Iowa City Rehab & Health Care, 23.2% of Patients use Anti-Psychotic Medication
