Short-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ in the area of short-term care. In the category of short-term care, we try to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered substantially more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. The final measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that it performed as well as just about any nursing home in Texas in this area with 70.4 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a very impressive nursing grade. In fact, this turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A. Nursing scores are mostly tied to the facility's nurse staffing. This particular facility provided 4.8 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This was one of the highest figures we found. In addition, a significant portion of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. On top of looking at levels of nursing care, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these metrics as reliable measures of the quality of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Facility Inspections
Adding to this facility's impressive resume, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to be an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
The fourth category we assessed is long-term care, where this facility received a B+. This rounded out a first-rate profile. Only a select few nursing homes received a B+ or higher in each of our categories. When facilities receive this kind of score in this category it is typically a good sign for resident care and suggests that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses aids. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 96.190475 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a great way to minimize unnecessary hospitalizations for the aged 65 and up population. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.12 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes.
