Corn Heritage Village and Rehab is an average-sized non-profit facility located in Corn, Oklahoma. With an overall grade of C, this is likely a middle of the road facility. You can definitely do worse than this nursing home. The best part of this facility's profile was is its inspection score. We discuss inspections in the next section.

It should also be noted that this facility's inspection rating outpaced its overall score. We gave it a grade of B+ for its inspections grade, which is a very solid score. Inspection grades are based on several datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this area tend to have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

This facility also was given a strong score in our long-term care category. We gave this nursing home an above average grade of B in this area. When facilities receive this type of grade in long-term care it is usually a good sign for resident care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. Once we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 98.19277 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly can be a life or death illness for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home does not leave its residents vulnerable. This facility was also able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 1.68 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.

This nursing home received its third best category score in the category of short-term care. We awarded this facility a C in this area, which is a reasonably acceptable score. In calculating our short-term care grades, we look at the facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other licensed professionals. This grade is frequently a reliable assessment of a facility's rehabilitation services. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The real question is whether this adversely affected quality of care. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that it performed respectably in this metric with 46.5 percent of its patients returning home.

The final category we graded is nursing, which was a weak link for this facility. We awarded this facility a grade of just D for our nursing category. In calculating our nursing scores, we factor in both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of the nurses. We do not think quantity of care is the reason for this places poor nursing rating. With 4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, this place actually surpassed the national average. Despite being above average in terms of nursing hours, this facility had a few less favorable scores in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of patients having falls leading to major injury and found this nursing home to be above the national average in this statistic. This is not what we like to see here. We believe that many falls could likely be avoided with better nursing care. This statistic contributed to this nursing home receiving a poor nursing grade.
