Long-term Care Quality
To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. One of the factors we considered in addition to this nursing home's impressive nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 99.49749 percent of its residents. Vaccines are a great way to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for the elderly. The last datapoint we looked at is the nursing home's hospitalization rate. We found that this facility had 2.76 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Although this wasn't as impressive as most of its other scores in this area, this statistic may be skewed for some facilities based on the medical complexity of residents.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also received a virtually flawless inspection. As a result, it earned one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A+. This is one of the few facilities to receive multiple A+ category grades. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively minor. We weren't able to locate deficiency data for this facility. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. While this didn't quite match its scores in some of the categories discussed above, this is still a decent score. There are a host of factors within this category. Most of the criteria relate to staffing levels. This nursing home provides an impressive 5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is among the higher totals in Mississippi. Lastly, we also factored a few quality measures into our nursing ratings. This place was relatively weak in two of the major metrics we considered, with below average marks for minimizing its patients' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed is short-term care. This nursing home was given an above average short-term care score in our assessment, with a grade of B-. While this is not nearly as good as many of its other category grades, this is still an acceptable score in this area. In calculating our short-term care scores, we look at the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other licensed professionals. This grade is frequently a fair measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The final item we looked at in this area is the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 35.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
