If you are not happy with this facility's poor overall grade, you may find your options to be limited in Wynne. The city has just one other nursing home. More information on this facility's category grades may be found below. Its best category was long-term care, which is discussed in the next section.

This place surprisingly performed well in the area of long-term care. We gave it a B for that category. Facilities that do well in this category tend to provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. Lastly, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. We found that this facility had 2.26 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.

We were also pleasantly surprised to find that this nursing home earned a decent short-term care grade this year. We awarded it a grade of C in this area. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical facility. Finally, we considered the number of residents that were able to return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below the national average.

We were surprised to find that this facility also excelled in the category of nursing. In fact, we awarded it an impressive grade of D for that category, which is one of our best scores. The nursing rating weighs many datapoints, most of which are associated with quantities of nurse staffing. Quantity of nursing care does not appear to be the source of this facility's poor nursing grade. This nursing home provides 4.7 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is actually above average. In determining our ratings, we add more weight to hours performed by highly skilled nurses such as registered nurses. Despite performing well in terms of nursing hours, this place had poor scores in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining major falls and pressure ulcers. This nursing home was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in both metrics. This is a bad sign when you consider that many falls are preventable with better nursing care. These metrics pulled down this facility's nursing score quite a bit.

In the last category of inspections, this facility really did not fare well. It received an F in our inspection rating. When a nursing home has this bad of an inspection score, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they created a threat to resident health or safety. Lastly, we also would like to point out that this facility was assessed large government fines recently in excess of $50,000. This often suggests that inspectors became fed up after multiple years of bad inspections.
