Vienna Springs Health Campus

On top of receiving a strong overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ inspection rating. This grade is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. An A+ in this category is one of the highest complements we can pay to a nursing home. Inspection ratings weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this category generally have few of these severe deficiencies. It doesn't appear that we were able to find information about this nursing home's deficiencies. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Compounding its dominant accomplishments in other areas, we gave this facility a score of A- for our long-term care rating. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. Overall this looks like a solid option for long-term care.

This facility received a very good nursing grade this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B+. In computing a facility's nursing grade, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses commit to residents as well as the levels of training of those nurses. This particular nursing home provided 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

The last category we graded was short-term care, where this facility was awarded a B+. This topped off an elite profile. Few nursing homes received a B+ or better in each of our categories. Our short-term care grades are meaningful for patients in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. This means a broad spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. It doesn't appear that this nursing home submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The last metric we considered in this area is the number of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
