Cypress Pointe Health Campus

On top of being a first rate facility overall, this nursing home also excelled in our inspections category, where it received an A+. Few places fared as well in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively minor. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.

This nursing home also was awarded a strong short-term care grade. This actually ended up being this nursing home's second most impressive category score. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A. Our short-term care ratings are probably more meaningful for individuals requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires more highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 6.2 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

This facility is also strong in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B+. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. In calculating our nursing ratings, we factor in both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

The next category we graded was long-term care, in which this facility received a B. Even though this turned out to be its lowest category score, this is still a favorable score. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure residents are well cared for. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 88.46154 percent of its residents, which is somewhat lower than we were hoping for. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, we were pleased to find facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
