We awarded this facility an A for our short-term care rating. This is far more impressive than the facility's overall score. Our short-term care grades are probably more critical for individuals needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to return home from the facility. This was more of a strength for this nursing home. We found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in Oklahoma with 69.2 percent of its residents returning home. At most facilities, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.

This nursing home also received favorable government inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a B. Our inspection grades are based on pieces of information found on the a nursing home's government inspections. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this area typically have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.

This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of B- in this category. The nursing rating analyzes many components, many of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we like to look at quality-based metrics, such as the percent of residents who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these statistics are indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Our final area is long-term care, where we gave this facility a grade of C in that area. Long-term care grades are typically used to score a nursing home's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services offered by a skilled nursing facility. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home gave the vaccine to 97.60479 percent of its residents, which is an above average datapoint. The last datapoint we assessed was the facility's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this nursing home had 1.79 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is not too bad.
