Facility Inspections

One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Among this facility's other strengths is its elite long-term care grade. We awarded them one of our best grades in that category, with a grade of A. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 99.69136 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a reliable method to minimize unnecessary hospitalizations for the aged 65 and up population. This place was also able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had just 1.06 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a significantly better hospitalization rate than the majority of nursing homes.

Short-term Care Quality

Turning to the next area, this nursing home also earned a grade of B for its short-term care rating. This is a well above average grade in this category. With our short-term care assessment, we seek to create a sound barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess the nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. This nursing home fared much better in the final datapoint we assessed in this category, which was the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. It performed as well as just about any facility in Arkansas in this metric with 58.6 percent of its residents returning home.

Nurse Quality

The final category we rated is nursing. We awarded this nursing home a solid score in this category, with a grade of B-. Even though this isn't on par with some of this facility's other scores, it is nevertheless nothing to be ashamed of. In calculating a facility's nursing score, we look at the quantity of hours nurses are with patients as well as the level of licensure of the nurses. According to its CMS reports, this nursing home provided an average of 3.9 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, which was above the national average. Finally, this place was relatively weak in two of the major metrics we focus on, with subpar scores for minimizing its patients' pressure ulcers and major falls.
