Long-term Care Quality
This place's long-term care rating is notably more impressive than its overall score. Due to a strong performance in this area, it received one of our better scores in that category with a B+. Facilities that do well in this category typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 99.68454 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. The last datapoint we looked at is its hospitalization rate. We found that this nursing home had 3.17 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. While this wasn't as impressive as most of its other scores in this category, this figure may be skewed for some nursing homes based on some of the preexisting medical conditions of patients.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also received favorable government inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better scores in that category, with a grade of B. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively insignificant. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Nurse Quality
An additional reason we rated this nursing home so highly is that it earned an A+ nursing score. Nursing ratings are primarily based on a facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided 4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is an impressive figure which typically leads to higher quality care. Lastly, this facility also excelled in several of the quality measures we looked at. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home Arkansas in this category. This is usually a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Many pressure ulcers can be avoided by offering better nursing care and a protocol of moving residents at least once a day.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's worst area is short-term care, which is the final area we scored. For this category, we awarded this facility a grade of D. In determining our short-term care scores, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to create a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. We found that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. The facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most facilities. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 37.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
