Riverview Rehabilitation

In addition to being a strong nursing home overall, this nursing home also excelled at short-term care, where it received an elite grade of A+. In our short-term care category, we seek to create a valuable barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze a nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. This nursing home is the gold standard when it comes to skilled nursing staffing. The facility supplied about 50% more registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical nursing home. This is what we look for when grading a facility in this category. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that it outperformed the vast majority of facilities in this area with 68 percent of its residents returning home.

This nursing home also received an A+ nursing grade, making it one of the few nursing homes to receive multiple A+ category grades. Nursing ratings are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided 5.1 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This was one of the highest totals we found. Furthermore, we found that a significant portion of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. These are both really impressive figures. In addition to offering high levels of care, this place also excelled in the quality-based metrics we assessed. For example, it performed as well as any nursing home in the nation when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We view these areas as good indicators of the quality of nursing care offered.

Another impressive feature of this facility is its inspection grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite insignificant. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to create an imminent risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

In the last category, this nursing home also received a very strong long-term care rating, with an A. This wrapped up a very strong profile. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. After looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down this place's vaccination data. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
