Facility Inspections

To pair with its strong overall score, we awarded this facility a grade of A for inspections. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Adding to its high-end profile, this nursing home also performed well in our short-term care category. In fact, it received a score of A in the area. Short-term care ratings are critical for residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. This facility provides more services with physical therapists and registered nurses than most facilities we looked at. This is usually an excellent sign. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that it fared as well as just about any facility in Texas in this area with 65.9 percent of its patients returning home.

Nurse Quality

Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a grade of B+ for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. Our nursing rating is based on a number of factors. The most heavily weighted one is the number of hours nurses spend with patients. This nursing home provides an impressive 4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Finally, we also looked at nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these datapoints as good indicators of the quality of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.

Long-term Care Quality

The last area we analyzed was long-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home an acceptable grade of C. This actually was this facility's least impressive category. In determining these long-term care grades, we assess the facility's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 91.42857 percent of its residents. This is a bit lower than we expected but still a decent figure. Nevertheless, this facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.73 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
