Woodview Home

One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Inspection ratings are tied to many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This facility really excelled in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are kept in good health. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 95.333336 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Turning to an additional strength for this facility, we awarded them one of our higher scores in our short-term care category as well, with a grade of B. Our short-term care grades are important for prospective residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional skilled nursing. This includes a broad range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. The final datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

The final area we rated was nursing. In this area, we awarded this facility a solid grade of B-. This is this nursing home's least impressive area. There are a host of data points included in this grade. Most of these factors relate to staffing levels. This facility averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily, which is well below average. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in some quality-focused statistics. We like to look at the percentage of residents who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these statistics are indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
