Choctaw Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate deficiency data for this facility. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

To complement its first-rate achievements in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for its long-term care score. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. This place really impressed us in this area.

This nursing home also received a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A-. The nursing grade is based on a variety of datapoints. The most important one is the amount of time nurses spend with residents. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

The next category we looked at is short-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility an impressive grade of B. Our short-term care scores are crucial for patients needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. It does not look like this nursing home provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
