Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While this facility's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to create an imminent risk to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this facility's next most favorable category was long-term care. Nevertheless, with a D in this area, it still performed somewhat badly. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Sadly, we gave this facility an F for its short-term care score. Our short-term care scores are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a wide range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. With a grade of this caliber in this category, we were not shocked to find this nursing home was below average in several staffing metrics we focus on. In fact, it supplied far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most facilities. The last measure we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics sunk this facility's short-term care grade.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The next area we graded was nursing. This facility received a very poor grade of F in that area. There are a variety of data points included in this area. Most of these subcategories relate to levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this nursing home also did not fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This nursing home had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average facility.

Grade: D

Grade: C

In Matagorda House Healthcare Center, 4.38% of Patients had Serious Falls

This is the percentage of patients that suffered from a urinary tract infection. UTI's are considered to be a barometer of nursing care at a nursing home.
