Riverside Nursing & Rehab Center

We couldn't find anything positive to say about this facility. It received a D in long-term care. Sadly, this was its best grade. If you are looking for services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 98.540146 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is better than most nursing homes. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.

This facility did not receive favorable government inspection reports in recent years. In fact, it received just a D for its inspection grade, which was unfortunately its second best category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. We would pay close attention to the level of severity of the deficiencies. This particular nursing home was assessed 2 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they posed a risk to resident health or safety. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.

Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. We analyzed the qualifications of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses spent with patients, in determining our rating in this category. This facility provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This figure is significantly below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these datapoints to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

The final area we looked at is short-term care. This nursing home received a very poor grade of F in that category. With our short-term care score, we attempt to craft a sound barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze a facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. With its score in this area, we were not stunned to discover that this nursing home is well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the figures we assessed. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.5 percent of its patients returning home. This was quite a bit below the national average.
