Lakeridge Ltc Partners is an average-sized hospital-based facility located in Lubbock, Texas. This facility is a subpar nursing home. A score of this caliber suggests we found some red flags. Although this score isn't too far off the city grade in Lubbock which is a C, you still ought to be able to find a better option. If you aren't deterred by this place's report card, you can continue reading to learn more about its category grades. Inspection reports are discussed in the next paragraph.
Although we did not rate this facility favorably overall, we want to point out its excellent government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
This facility's next most favorable area was its long-term care score, where it was given a B-. Long-term care ratings are based on a facility's volume of nursing services. This means a vast range of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is better than most nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. Although it had 2.19 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score was not too far off the national average.

Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. In computing a nursing home's nursing grade, we weigh the amount of time nurses spend with patients as well as the level of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home provides 3.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. On top of receiving below average marks for nursing hours, this facility was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in computing our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of residents suffering pressure ulcers and found that this nursing home was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in this metric. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that many pressure ulcers are preventable with better nursing care. This statistic pulled down this facility's nursing score substantially.
The last category we rated was short-term care, where this facility received an abysmal score in this area as well. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this category, which is obviously somewhat alarming. Short-term care grades are commonly used to gauge a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To have high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. Given its score in this area, we weren't surprised to learn that this place was well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the measures we looked at. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 36.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
