Marshall Manor West

Marshall Manor West is located in Marshall, Texas. The city has 34,387 people. With an overall score of B, this facility is a great option. We actually ranked it as the number one facility in Marshall. You should also take a look at this facility's category grades below. Long-term care grades are discussed in the next section.

On top of receiving a strong overall score, this facility performed well in long-term care. We awarded it an A+ for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Facilities that do well in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. In addition to providing very impressive levels of nursing care and other staffing, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents out of the hospital. Finally, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. With 1.78 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home is just about middle of the road in this area.

In addition, this facility also excelled in inspections, where it received an A+. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to be an immediate threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. This wasn't quite on par with some of its other category grades mentioned above. The nursing score weighs a number of datapoints. The most important factor is the amount of time nurses spent with patients. With 4.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home surpassed the vast majority of facilities. Lastly, we also looked at a few nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home actually excelled in some of these. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the nation in this category. This is typically a accurate measure of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of turning a resident more frequently.

The final category we rated is short-term care, which is this facility's weakest area. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this category, which is clearly a bit concerning. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. We found that this nursing home was subpar in two of the key staffing areas we looked at. The facility offered fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 28.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
