Maravilla Care Center

Although we did not rate this facility well overall, we would like to point out its decent government inspection reports in recent years. We awarded it a relatively respectable score of B- in this category. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.

We also want to point out that this facility received a decent grade in our nursing category. We awarded it a grade of B- in the area. Nursing ratings are mostly tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a low total compared with most other facilities. Finally, while this place got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in a few of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this area.

This facility was given its third best category grade in the area of long-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of B- in this area, which is a reasonably acceptable grade. In forming these long-term care ratings, we look at the facility's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. We were concerned by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated only 25.963488 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Nevertheless, this place excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Turning to our next area, this nursing home was given a respectable short-term care grade of C. Our short-term care scores are important for people needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires more highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below the national average.
