Coffeyville Regional Medical Center Snf

In addition to being a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually flawless. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite minor. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means CMS didn't consider 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.

This facility also was given an A+ short-term care grade, making it one of the few facilities to be given multiple A+ category scores. Short-term care scores are important for individuals in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more skilled nursing. This means a wide scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 7 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

This facility also fared very well in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a score of A. Not many nursing homes performed better in this area. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care scores. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccines. It doesn't look like this facility submitted information about vaccinations. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Moving on to our fourth area, this facility also performed well in the nursing category. We awarded it an A- for that area. This rounded out a straight A report card. When determining our nursing grades, we analyze both staffing levels and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these statistics as good measures of the quality of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
