Nurse Quality
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility excelled in our nursing rating. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Our nursing grade assesses the facility's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of skill of the nurses and the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home provides an incredible 7.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Out of that total, many of the hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the most highly highly trained levels of nurses. On top of offering impressive levels of nursing care, this facility also excelled in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at. With under 5 percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the state in this category.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a score of A+ for its long-term care grade. For patients in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. This facility's vaccination records weren't as impressive as its nursing hours data. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 77.21519 percent of its residents. We would love to see some improvement in this area next year. Fortunately, this facility excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 1.19 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a much better hospitalization rate than most nursing homes.
Short-term Care Quality
The third area we analyzed was short-term care. This facility excelled in our short-term care category as well. We gave them an exemplary score of A+ in this category. Our short-term care grades are thought to be most critical for individuals in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. This means not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered substantially more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. The last statistic we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that it performed as well as just about any facility in Texas in this area with 66.4 percent of its patients returning home.
Facility Inspections
Finally, this nursing home also received excellent inspection reports in recent years. We gave it one of our best grades in that area, with an elite grade of A. Few facilities received an A- or better in all four categories. Our inspection grades are based on pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this category typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
