We want to note that this facility earned a much better grade for long-term care than it received overall. In fact, we gave it one of our best grades in that area with a grade of A+. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care typically provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 94.202896 percent of its residents, which is higher than the average nursing home. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Additionally, we awarded this nursing home a B in our short-term care category. This happens to be one of our better grades. Our short-term care grades are likely most meaningful for those in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. It doesn't look like this nursing home provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

In addition, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B in our nursing category. This is one of our better grades. The nursing score is based on several datapoints, most of which are tied to nursing hours. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place Oklahoma in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by having a policy of moving residents even once per day.

Moving on the last category of inspections, this ended up being this nursing home's worst grade. Inspection scores are based on a facility's recent government inspection reports. We gave this facility just a D in this category, which is not good. Since this data is collected by government inspectors, we typically take it seriously. Inspection grades account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. This particular facility had 4 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they caused a risk to resident health or safety. Finally, we want to draw your attention to the fact that this place was assessed significant government fines recently exceeding $50,000. This typically means that CMS inspectors grew tired after multiple years of failed government inspections.
