Roseville Rehabilitation & Health Care

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite minor. This place received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

This facility is also strong in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B+. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Our nursing rating is mostly based on a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as having a system of turning patients more frequently.

This facility was awarded a favorable short-term care score as well. We gave it one of our better grades in that category with a grade of B. With our short-term care score, we try to create a sound measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess a nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who returned home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

The final category we looked at is long-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of D in the area of long-term care, making this its worst area. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. After we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinates 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this place also keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
