Anadarko Nursing & Rehab

This facility really fared well in long-term care, with a grade of A- in this area. This really helped its overall score quite a bit. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 88.671875 percent of its residents. This is a few points lower than we were hoping for. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

In addition, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of B+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.

Turning to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing rating. In fact, we gave this facility an impressive grade of D. We analyzed the licensure of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the number of hours those nurses worked with patients, in determining our score in this area. This particular facility provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This number is significantly below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This place performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.

Switching gears to the final category, this nursing home did not fare well. With a very poor grade of F in short-term care, this was this facility's worst grade. Our short-term care scores are believed to be more meaningful for folks needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. With its abysmal rating in this area, we weren't stunned to learn that this place offers significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other facilities. The last measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics sunk this facility's short-term care score.
