Facility Inspections
Although we didn't grade this nursing home favorably overall, we actually gave it an excellent grade in the area of inspections, where it earned a grade of A-. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. It is generally in your best interest to avoid facilities that had too many severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's better category grades was in the area of long-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of B. It actually outperformed most facilities in this area. Facilities that do well in long-term care typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 99.32886 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly is often a life threatening illness for nursing home residents so we like it when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
In our next category, we gave this nursing home a rock-bottom F in the area of short-term care. Our short-term care scores are meaningful for individuals requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of skilled nursing. This includes a wide scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this place offers significantly less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than a typical facility. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.1 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
The next category we looked at is nursing. This nursing home received a bottom of the barrel grade of F in this area. Our nursing score focuses on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We look at 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 very low total compared to most nursing homes. To pair with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this place also did not fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining major falls and pressure ulcers. This nursing home had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home. This may be a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. These scores hurt this facility's nursing rating significantly.

Minimizes Serious Falls
In Villa Vista Royale, 6.71% of Patients had Serious Falls
