Facility Inspections

Grade: A

This facility received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its excellent health inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A in this category. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to resident safety or health. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Additionally, we gave this facility a grade of B in our short-term care category. This happens to be one of our better grades. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. It doesn't look like this nursing home provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who returned home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. Our nursing rating analyzes the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of licensure of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. 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. Lastly, while this facility got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of our quality metrics. With less than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed well in this subcategory.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next category we assessed is long-term care, which ended up being this facility's worst category. We awarded this nursing home a D in that category. Of course, this category pulled down the nursing home's overall profile a bit. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 96.666664 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.

In Villa Maria Care Center, 5.26% of Patients use Anti-Psychotic Medication

This is the percent of patients given antipsychotic medications. While antipsychotic drugs may be vital to many residents, it is important to ensure these medications are being used appropriately.

This metric measures the percentage of short-term residents that saw functional improvements, such as enhanced ability to perform activities of daily living. Some would argue that this is a measure of a facility's rehabilitation services.
