Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively minor. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
An additional strong feature for this nursing home is that it was awarded a favorable long-term care grade. In fact, this ended up being its second best category grade. In this area, we gave this facility a grade of B+. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 95.28302 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Although it had 1.87 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score was better than the majority of nursing homes since it had more complicated patients.
Short-term Care Quality
In addition, this facility also received favorable short-term care grades in our assessment. Indeed, we awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a score of B+. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. We were quite impressed to discover that this place provides its patients significantly more physical therapist hours than most other facilities. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that it performed as well as just about any nursing home in Texas in this area with 59.8 percent of its patients returning home. At most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's weakest area was nursing, which is the last area we looked at. In this category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of just D. We want to to draw your attention to this possible weak spot, however, you shouldn't focus exclusively on one bad category either. When determining our nursing scores, we assess both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of those nurses. In this nursing home's case, quantity of care does not appear to be the problem. According to its CMS data, this place provided an average of 5.8 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, which was above the national average. Lastly, our nursing scores also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed better than average in this area. This is often a good indicator of how carefully a facility's nursing staff is tending to its residents. Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
