Parkway Care and Rehab

In addition to receiving a great overall score, this facility also earned first-rate inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better scores in this category, with an A. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

We also gave this nursing home a score of A- for our long-term care score. Facilities that do well in this category typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 99.319725 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

The next highest category we gave this facility in any area came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a C. In calculating these short-term care scores, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to formulate a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this nursing home. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

The last area we assessed was nursing, which proved to be this nursing home's least impressive area. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F in this area, which is obviously somewhat disappointing. There are quite a few subcategories included in this grade. Most of these subcategories are tied to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This place offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. Unfortunately, this facility also did not perform as well as we had hoped in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed in this category.
