Lake Mead Health and Rehabilitation Center is in Henderson, Nevada, which is one of the most densely populated metropolitan areas in the country. With a terrible overall grade of F, this nursing home didn't fare well in our assessment. Keep in mind that Henderson received a far more impressive city grade of B, so you should definitely look at other options in the city. Despite all this, one of the few highlights of this facility's profile is its strong inspection rating. You can continue reading to find out about inspections and other category scores

Facility Inspections
Although we gave this nursing home a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a B+ for our inspections category. This is due to the nursing home receiving a quality inspection report this year. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite insignificant. While this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. Our nursing grade is primarily based on a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is slightly below average. In addition to receiving below average marks for total nursing hours, this place was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and found that this facility was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in this metric.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second least favorable score was short-term care, where it received a grade of just D in that area. This is a relatively poor grade. Our short-term care scores are considered to be most meaningful for people requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 43.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our fourth category, we gave this nursing home a D for the area of long-term care. This is the nursing home's least impressive category score. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in this category it is often a bad sign for resident care and it may indicate that the place is not as well-staffed. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We found that this nursing home administered the vaccine to only 25.751074 percent of its patients, which is quite a bit lower than we expected. To our surprise, this facility was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.49 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
