Seville Care Center

Although we did not rate this nursing home favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively favorable inspections in recent years. We gave it a respectable grade of B in this area, which is much better than its overall score. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid places with too many deficiencies flagged. This nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies an imminent risk to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

The second highest area we gave this facility in any area came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of C. In calculating our short-term care grades, we assess the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. This rating is more often than not a solid measure of a facility's rehabilitation. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its level of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well below average.

We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. When calculating a nursing home's nursing rating, we assess the number of hours nurses are seeing residents and the levels of training of the nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually fared better in some of the quality measures we looked at. It scored well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care provided.

The last category we analyzed was long-term care, which was this nursing home's least impressive category. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in this category. Facilities that don't fare well in long-term care typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. After assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. We were a bit alarmed this nursing home vaccinated 74.17219 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is significantly lower than average. Surprisingly, this facility was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
