Villa Rosa Nursing and Rehabilitation

In addition to receiving a quality overall grade, this nursing home also earned excellent inspections recently. We gave it one of our best grades in that area, with an A. Inspection ratings are based on items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this category have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.

To complement its elite achievements in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for its short-term care grade. With our short-term care rating, we seek to craft a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess the nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 7 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

This nursing home also received a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A-. Our nursing grade focuses on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Moving on to our last category, we gave this facility a grade of D in our long-term care category. This was the nursing home's worst category score. Nevertheless, you shouldn't focus exclusively one weak score. With our long-term care category, we analyze the quantity of care provided by a facility, along with a series of quality metrics. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 97.34513 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is more than the average nursing home. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
