Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our inspections rating. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area usually have few severe deficiencies. While this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
In addition, this facility also was given favorable short-term care grades this year. Indeed, we gave them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. Short-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that it was above average in this area with 55.8 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our next area, this facility also earned a grade of B for its long-term care rating. This is a well above average score in this category. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it generally means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. On top of offering well above average levels of nurse staffing, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This percentage is also far higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. We found that this nursing home had 4.3 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Although this wasn't as impressive as most of its other scores in this category, this figure can be skewed for some nursing homes based on some of the preexisting medical conditions of residents.
Nurse Quality
The final area we rated is nursing. In that category, we awarded this facility a B-. Our nursing rating assesses a handful of data points, however, the primary one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility provides an impressive 5.1 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is one of the better totals in Arkansas. Finally, this nursing home performed well in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In terms of the percentage of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this place performed better than the national average.
