Rose of Sharon a Villa Center

On top of receiving a strong overall rating, this nursing home also earned an A+ inspection score. This score is based on its recent inspection reports. An A+ in this category is one of the best complements we can offer a facility. Arguably the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report, which is still very impressive. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Additionally, this nursing home also was given favorable short-term care scores this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. In our short-term care score, we strive to craft a fair measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to return home from the facility. We found that 4.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

This facility also was given a favorable long-term care grade. Indeed, we gave it an above average score of B+ in this area. Facilities that receive this type of grade in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are kept in good health. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 71.34503 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is a few points lower than we anticipated but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, we were pleased to find facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

The next area we looked at is nursing. This facility received a very good nursing score this year, with a B. Although this wasn't nearly as strong as several of its other category grades, this remains one of our more favorable grades in this category. There are numerous subcategories included in this area. Many of these subcategories relate to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place 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 frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
