Farmersville Health and Rehabilitation

Farmersville Health and Rehabilitation is a small nursing home located in Farmersville, Texas. It looks like this facility is a subpar facility. A grade in this range indicates we found some red flags. This isn't the worse place we graded, however, we would still be very reluctant to recommend it. If you aren't deterred by this nursing home's profile, feel free to continue reading to learn more about its category grades. Inspection reports are discussed in the next paragraph.

While we were not very complementary of this facility's overall score, it actually received a very impressive inspection report this year. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our best scores in that category with a grade of A. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid nursing homes with a list of deficiencies flagged. It does not appear that we have deficiency data for this facility. We wish we had more information about this facility. Without the information regarding deficiencies, it is a challenge to assess this facility in the inspections category.

This nursing home's long-term care grade turns out to be one of its best features. The nursing home was awarded a grade of C in this area. For residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. Once we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinated 99.514565 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.99 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Unfortunately, this facility's third highest category is short-term care. Nevertheless, with a D in this area, it still fared somewhat badly. In our short-term care category, we seek to craft a fair measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at the facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Unfortunately, this place was subpar in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the data we considered. The final measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home. This was well below the national average.

The final category we assessed was nursing. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this category, which is a very poor score. When calculating our nursing scores, we analyze both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This facility provided just 3.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also looked at a few quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This place was above average in two of the data points we considered, with good scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are usually good indicators of the quality of nursing care provided.
