Parkside Villa

In addition to being a quality facility overall, this place excelled in our inspections category, where it earned an A. Few facilities performed better in that category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be relatively insignificant. This place received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies an imminent risk to resident safety or health. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

This facility truly excelled in the category of short-term care, where it received a grade of A. Not many facilities performed better in this category. Our short-term care ratings are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a wide range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return home from this facility. We found that 6.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. This facility didn't perform quite as well in this category as it did in some other categories. Nevertheless, this is still a respectable score. Our nursing rating focuses on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of training of those nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, while this facility got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this area.

The final category we analyzed is long-term care, in which this facility received a grade of C. This turned out to be this nursing home's least impressive area. This is still not a terrible score. Our long-term care ratings are more critical for people in need of more traditional assistance related to activities of daily living. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 96.27119 percent of its patients, which is more than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
