Lakeside Rehabilitation and Care Center is an average-sized facility located in Lubbock, Texas. We gave this facility an F, which is really a rock-bottom score in our grading scheme. Fortunately, this nursing home is one of 15 nursing homes in this city so if you aren't impressed, you should have better options. Despite all this, one of the few highlights of this nursing home's profile is its impressive inspection score. You can continue reading to learn more about inspections and other category scores

Facility Inspections
Although this place's overall score was terrible, it fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B for that category, which is one of our better scores. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid nursing homes with a list of severe deficiencies flagged. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the government 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.
Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility only earned a D for its short-term care grade, which is actually one of its better category scores. Our short-term care ratings are based on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a wide range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. Considering its poor score in this area, we were not stunned to learn this nursing home provided far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this facility. We found that just 48.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. There are a host of criteria within this grade. Most of the factors reflect nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below average. In addition to its below average nursing hour totals, this nursing home received poor scores in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We found that more of this facility's patients sustained falls which led to major injury.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we rated is long-term care, in which this nursing home received a rock bottom grade in this category also. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this area, which is definitely a major concern. For prospective residents in need of a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. One of the data points we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 97.93103 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this nursing home also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 1.22 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
