Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Neither this nursing home's overall grade nor its category grades gave us much to highlight here. Its best category was long-term care, but even there we gave it just a D. Facilities that do not fare well in this category often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in a few of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed. After assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. Unfortunately, this facility vaccinated a relatively low 53.41615 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. Nursing ratings are mostly tied to the facility's nurse staffing. This facility offered only 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is not a very impressive figure. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This facility fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these statistics to be measures of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Unfortunately, this place received a lowly F for its inspection rating. We would advise paying special attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection score. We recommend you scrutinize the severity of the deficiencies. This particular nursing home was assessed 2 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they caused a threat to resident health or safety. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last area we scored is short-term care, in which this nursing home was given a poor score here as well. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this area, which is obviously very concerning. Our short-term care ratings are meaningful for people in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a broad spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we considered the number of patients that eventually returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Austin Oasis Quality Metrics

Minimizes Pressure Ulcers

Grade: B-plus

Minimizes Serious Falls

Grade: A

In Austin Oasis, 1.4% of Patients had Serious Falls

Appropriately Uses Anti-Psychotic Medication

Grade: D

In Austin Oasis, 26.7% of Patients use Anti-Psychotic Medication

This figure is an indication of the percent of long-term patients taking antipsychotic medications. While antipsychotic medications play an important role in caring for many residents, it is important to make sure these drugs are being used only where medically required. In limited cases, excessive reliance on these medications may suggest that a facility is using these medications to subdue residents.

In Austin Oasis, 15.42% of Patients use Anti-Anxiety Medication

This indicates the percent of long-term patients receiving antianxiety drugs.
