Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

One of the reasons this place turned out to be a great nursing home is it earned an A+ inspection grade. This is as good as it gets in this critical category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some can be relatively insignificant. It does not appear that we were able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

We also would like to alert you to the fact that this nursing home was given a superb score of A in our short-term care category. In determining our short-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. This rating is often a fair assessment of the nursing home's rehabilitation. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 6.3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Moving on our third area, this nursing home was awarded first-rate long-term care score. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- in that category. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 99.15254 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly is often a dangerous illness for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility does not leave this to chance. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The last area we rated is nursing, in which this nursing home was awarded a B. Even though this proved to be its lowest category score, this is still an impressive grade. We assessed the skill-level of nurses working for the facility, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses worked with residents, in calculating our grade in this area. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place Mississippi in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of moving a resident more frequently.
