Lake Pointe Village

While we gave this facility a bad overall grade, we awarded it a somewhat respectable score in the category of inspections, where we gave it a B-. This was quite a bit better than its other categories. Our inspection scores account for several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.

We also ended up giving this facility a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B-. Our nursing category includes a handful of datapoints, many of which are tied to nursing hours. This place provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a somewhat discouraging figure which is well below average. Finally, our nursing grades also consider quality-based assessments, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically a reliable indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses aids to assist its residents.

This nursing home's next highest area ended up being its short-term care score, where it was awarded a B-. Our short-term care scores are thought to be most meaningful for people needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its level of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The final item we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 5.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.

Turning to the fourth category, this nursing home was awarded a respectable long-term care score of B-. Our long-term care scores are more critical for people in need of more conventional services associated with activities of daily living. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 99.10714 percent of its patients. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
