Community Care Center of Crockett

With an address in Crockett, Texas, Community Care Center of Crockett is one of four nursing homes in the area. This facility was given an uninspiring overall grade of D, which is a well below average score. This nursing home has very little working in its favor. This place's only redeeming feature is its inspection score, which you can find additional information on below.

While we were fairly low on this facility overall, we awarded it an A+ for our inspections rating. This score is significantly more impressive than the nursing home's overall grade. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

As it turns out, this facility only earned a D for its short-term care rating, which ended up being one of its better category scores. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Given its poor grade, we were not shocked to find that this nursing home provided substantially fewer registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The final statistic we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents that returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area, with just 25.5 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below the national average.

Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. The nursing score includes many datapoints. The most important variable is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This particular nursing home provided 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below average. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this nursing home also did not perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This place had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home.

The next category we looked at was long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this category, which is a bottom of the barrel score. In a long-term care environment, the primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is more than most nursing homes. Surprisingly, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.43 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
