Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this facility also excelled in the category of inspections, where it earned an A. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Arguably the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This facility was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to resident health or safety. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a strong nursing grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B in that category, which is one of our better scores. In determining a facility's nursing grade, we consider the quantity of hours nurses are caring for patients as well as the level of licensure of the nurses. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed 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 facility Texas in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by having a protocol of turning a patient even once per day.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next most favorable category was long-term care. We awarded it a B- in this area. This is essentially a middle of the pack grade in this area. Our long-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's amount of nursing care. This includes a broad spectrum of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine medical services. After we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. We were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 59.322033 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the fourth category, we gave this nursing home a D in our short-term care category. This is the nursing home's worst category rating. Of course, this grade pulled down the nursing home's overall grade to a certain degree. Our short-term care scores are considered to be more meaningful for people needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of skilled nursing services. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
