Skyview Springs Rehab and Nursing Center

Skyview Springs Rehab and Nursing Center sits over in Luray, VA, and you'll find it has 120 certified beds, usually about 112 residents staying each day, and was once called MontVue Nursing Home before it became part of Hill Valley Healthcare. The place focuses on both short-term rehab and long-term nursing care, so folks come for things like orthopedic rehab, wound care, Alzheimer's and dementia care, speech therapy, physical therapy, even tracheostomy and pulmonary care, with hospice and oncology support as well. You'll see nurses and aides working around the clock, since a registered nurse has to be on site 24/7, and there are requirements for how many hours each resident gets care each day, with at least 3.45 total nursing hours, including 2.45 from aides and 0.55 from registered nurses, though the average nurse staffing is a bit above minimum at 2.55 nurse hours per resident a day. The staff turnover rate for nurses sits at 40.7%, which can mean you won't always see the same faces for long. Room rates run about $165 a day for a semi-private room and $190 for a private one, and with 71.9 full-time staff, they keep things running pretty steadily, if a bit stretched at times. Recent inspections found 55 problems, including two related to infections and others noting how care plans weren't always carefully followed (F0656), safe dialysis care sometimes was missed (F0698), and there were lapses in telling residents and their families about important health updates (F0580). They take health insurance and offer several options, and you can compare HMO plans and prices, so that's a help for folks trying to sort through costs. All told, it's a place with basic rehab and long-term care, clear rules about care responsibility, and some bumps along the way, and while some folks get the help they need for healing, the inspection history shows there have been some things that needed fixing.
