Facility Inspections
Grade: A-plus
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility earned near flawless inspections recently. We awarded them an A+ in this area. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this area generally have few of these severe deficiencies. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find information on deficiency's for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
Grade: A
One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of A. In calculating a nursing home's nursing rating, we consider the amount of time nurses are with residents and the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home Mississippi in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a system of moving patients more frequently.

Long-term Care Quality
Grade: A-minus

Facilities that excel in this category tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is far higher than the average nursing home. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
Grade: A-minus
The final area we graded was short-term care, where this facility was awarded an A-. This rounded out a very favorable report card. Only a select few nursing homes earned an A- or better in every category. Our short-term care ratings are presumably more important for individuals needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. This means not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 5.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
