Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

It should also be noted that this facility's nursing score outpaced its overall score. We gave it a B+ for its nursing score. Nursing scores are tied to levels of nurse staffing. With 4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home surpassed the national average. Lastly, this nursing home also excelled in the quality-based metrics we looked at. For example, it fared as well as any nursing home Arkansas when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We look at these datapoints as predictive indicators of the quality of nursing care being provided.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Inspections is another category where this nursing home excelled. In fact, we awarded this facility an B+ for our inspections category. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also was given a positive grade in our long-term care category. We gave this facility a better than average grade of B in this area. Facilities that receive this type of score in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure residents are kept in good health. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 98.281784 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Lastly, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. We found that this facility had 3.17 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Although this admittedly wasn't as impressive as some of its other scores in this category, this number can be skewed for some nursing homes based on the medical complexity of residents.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next area we rated was short-term care, which is this facility's weakest category. We awarded this nursing home a D in that category. Unfortunately, this category pulled down the facility's overall grade to a certain degree. In determining our short-term care ratings, we assess the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other licensed professionals. This area is considered to be a fair measure of the facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 44.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
