Vienna Springs Health Campus

To pair with a great overall grade, we awarded this facility an A for inspections. Our inspection ratings are based on several datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this area typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Unfortunately, it does not appear that we have deficiency data for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Compounding its top-shelf accomplishments in other areas, we gave this nursing home a score of A- for its long-term care grade. In a long-term care environment, the primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. It goes without saying that we were satisfied with our findings for this category.

This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B+ in this area. There are several factors included in this category. Many of these criteria are tied to nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

The next category we rated is short-term care. This nursing home was given a better than average nursing score in our assessment, with a B. Although this isn't as impressive as a few of its other scores, this is still one of the more favorable grades in that category. Our short-term care ratings are presumably more important for those requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. This includes not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last statistic we looked at in this area is the number of patients that were able to return home from the facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
