Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's best category grade came in the area of long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B+. It actually outpaced most facilities in this category. Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are kept in good health. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 98.69565 percent of its patients, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly is often a life or death ailment for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a nursing home does not roll the dice on this issue. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Facility Inspections
We also awarded this facility a B- for our inspections rating. This is more impressive than its overall grade. Our inspection grades weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.
Does this page answer your questions about Valley View Nursing & Rehabilitation?
Nurse Quality
One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of C. There are a number of criteria within this area. Most of these subcategories reflect nurse staffing. This place averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day, which is not an impressive total. Finally, although this place got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed well in this subcategory.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed was short-term care, ended up being this facility's worst category. We awarded this nursing home a D in that category. With our short-term care score, we try to forge a fair barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at a nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. With a grade this poor for this area, we were not shocked to find that this place was below average in the two key staffing metrics we assess. In fact, it offered far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other nursing homes. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 5 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
