Central Baptist Village

One of the many reasons this place turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ in our inspections category. This is as good as it gets in this critical category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite insignificant. While this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Adding to its first-rate profile, this nursing home also performed well in our short-term care category. In fact, we gave it a score of A in the category. Our short-term care ratings are crucial for people requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional skilled nursing. This means a broad scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

We also wanted to alert you to the fact that this nursing home was awarded an impressive grade of A in our long-term care area. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are kept in good health. After assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

In the final category we scored, this nursing home was given an impressive grade grade of A in our nursing category. With this score, the facility rounded out a straight A report card. The nursing grade includes numerous factors. The most important variable is the quantity of hours nurses spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
