Facility Inspections
This facility received a strong overall score as described above, but we especially want to point out its nearly flawless inspections in recent years. We gave it an impressive grade of A in this category. Inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this area tend to have very few severe deficiencies. This place was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Contributing to this nursing home's list of achievements, it also was given a superb long-term care score. We gave them a dominant grade of A- in this area. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. On top of considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 99.54128 percent of its residents, which is significantly higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.68 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility is also above average in the area of short-term care, where it received a grade of B+. It performed better than most nursing homes in this area. In the area of short-term care, we try to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The final metric we assessed in this category is the number of patients who eventually returned home from the nursing home. This turned out to be more of a strength for this nursing home. We found that it performed as well as just about any nursing home in Missouri in this area with 64.7 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
The last category we graded proved to be this nursing home's poorest category. However, even in its weakest link we still awarded it an acceptable grade of C for nursing. Our nursing grade includes numerous data points. The most heavily weighted factor is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This nursing home averages just 3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, we also factored a few quality-based metrics into our nursing grades. This facility was subpar in a few of the major metrics we focus on, with below average scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are generally reliable measures of the quality of nursing care provided.
