We were not surprised to discover that this proved to be radically superior to most of the nursing homes in Overland Park. As you will see below, this place performed equally well in our category ratings. In fact, we gave it straight A's!

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. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

We also wanted to note the fact that this facility excelled in our short-term care category. We awarded them an impressive score of A+ in this category. In our short-term care rating, we endeavor to create a valuable barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze the nursing home's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Remarkably, this place provides approximately 50% more hours of services from physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we assessed. The final metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that it performed as well as just about any facility in Kansas in this area with 69.9 percent of its residents returning home. With most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.

This facility also received a top-shelf long-term care grade. This actually turned out to be its third best category score. In that category, this facility received a grade of A. If you are looking for services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate information about this nursing home's vaccination rates. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

In our last category, this nursing home also was awarded a first-rate nursing score, with a grade of A-. This topped off a very favorable profile. There are a number of criteria within this area. Many of these data points are tied to the quantity of nurse staffing. This facility provided 5.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, which is among the higher figures in the country. A significant percentage of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the most highly skilled levels of nurses. We were very impressed by these figures. In addition to offering impressive levels of nursing care, this place also excelled in the quality-based metrics we looked at. For example, it performed as well as any nursing home in the state in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these metrics as good indicators of the caliber of nursing care offered.
