Facility Inspections

To go along with its strong overall score, we awarded this facility an A for the area of inspections. Inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. This facility received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to resident safety or health. A couple minor dings aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

This nursing home also was given an impressive short-term care score. In fact, we gave it an above average score of B in this area. In forming these short-term care ratings, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to create a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community.

Nurse Quality

Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. There are a host of criteria within this area. Many of the factors reflect nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics 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 nursing home Mississippi in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a system of turning a patient more frequently.

Long-term Care Quality

The last area we assessed proved to be this nursing home's poorest area. However, even in its worst category we still gave it a decent grade of B- in our long-term care category. Our long-term care scores are more meaningful for patients requiring more traditional assistance associated with activities of daily living. One of the factors we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 94.07407 percent of its residents. This facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
