Cimarron Park Nursing and Rehabilitation Center turns out to be one of many nursing home options to select from in El Paso, Texas. This is not a high quality facility with a D overall grade. Sadly, this grade is right in line with the city grade in El Paso. As far as we can see, we would struggle to recommend this facility. The only positive thing we can say about this place is that it did not receive any F's in in any of the major categories. Additional information about its category grades can be found below.

Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this facility favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively favorable health inspections in recent years. We gave it a B+ in this category, which is much better than its overall score. Inspection ratings account for several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid nursing homes with a bunch of severe deficiencies flagged. This nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
The next most favorable category we awarded this nursing home in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a B-. Short-term care grades are often employed to gauge a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to provide highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must offer higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. Lastly, we considered the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that it also performed well in this metric with 58.6 percent of its patients returning home. Most facilities are below 50 percent in this statistic.
Long-term Care Quality
The third area we analyzed is long-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a decent grade of C. With our long-term care category, we focus more on the sheer volume of services offered by a nursing home, as well as a handful of quality statistics. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 98.21429 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. While it had 2.33 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was better than most nursing homes due to it having some more complex patients.
Nurse Quality
The next area we looked at was nursing, proved to be this nursing home's least impressive area. We gave this facility a D in this category. There are quite a few criteria included in this grade. Most of these data points are tied to nurse staffing. This facility offered just 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. Lastly, we also looked at some quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This facility was above average in two of the major areas we considered, with good scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
