Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B- for our nursing rating. In calculating our nursing ratings, we weigh both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of the nurses. This particular nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This figure is far below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. It scored well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the quantity of hours of care provided.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

This place actually performed well in the area of inspections as well. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which is a respectable grade. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. While this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

We awarded this facility just a D for our long-term care rating. This is not one of our better scores. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. After we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinated 99.805824 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last area we assessed was short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this category, which is an abysmal grade. In the area of short-term care, we strive to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Considering its weak rating in this area, we weren't shocked to learn this facility offers far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other facilities. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 2.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.

Minimizes Pressure Ulcers

Grade: A-minus

In Mountain View Care and Rehabilitation Center, 4.71% of Patients had Pressure Ulcers

Minimizes Serious Falls

Grade: B-minus

In Mountain View Care and Rehabilitation Center, 3.88% of Patients had Serious Falls

This tells you the percentage of patients that suffered from a major fall. Falls resulting in severe injury are routinely linked to poor nursing care. Additional nurse staffing reduces the percentage of residents in a nursing home who sustain major falls.

This tells you the percent of patients that sustained a urinary tract infection. UTI's are considered to be a barometer of nursing care at a nursing home.
