Parkview Nursing

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Our inspection ratings are based on many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that we were able to find deficiency data for this nursing home. We wish we had more data for this facility. Without complete deficiency related data, it is a challenge to evaluate this nursing home in terms of this category.

Adding to its strong resume, this facility also received an excellent nursing score, with a grade of A. Our nursing grade is primarily associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

This nursing home also received a fine short-term care grade. Indeed, this ended up being this facility's third most impressive category score. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of A-. With our short-term care rating, we seek to forge a fair measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze a nursing home's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final measure we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 5.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

The final area we graded was long-term care. This facility was given a strong nursing rating this year, with a grade of B. Although this isn't as good as several of its other category grades, this remains one of our stronger grades in that area. Facilities that do well in this category tend to provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 98.38337 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
