Heritage Village Nursing Home

Heritage Village Nursing Home is one of just a couple available nursing homes located in Holdenville, Oklahoma. We awarded it an overall grade of B-, which is a middle of the pack score. You can certainly do worse than this nursing home. The best part of this nursing home's report card was its exemplary inspection grade. Inspection grades are discussed in the next paragraph.

The primary reason this facility received a decent overall score is its impeccable inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our better scores in that category, with an A. This is a notably better score than the place's overall score, which was decent but not in the elite range. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to be an immediate threat to resident safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.

This nursing home also was awarded a favorable long-term care grade. Indeed, we awarded it a B+ in this category, which happens to be one of our better. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 97.64706 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is far higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. We found that this nursing home had 2.65 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.

One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. In determining our nursing grades, we weigh both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home averages 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This facility was above average in many of the major statistics we focus on, including minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These datapoints are usually reliable measures of the quality of nursing care provided.

Turning to our last category, this facility really did not perform very well. With a rock bottom grade of F in short-term care, this is its worst category. In the area of short-term care, we try to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. 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. The final measure we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 38.6 percent of its residents returning home. This was quite a bit below the national average.
