Long-term Care Quality
We also found that this facility excelled in our long-term care rating. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are well cared for. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. The last datapoint we assessed was the facility's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this nursing home had 1.99 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is middle of the pack in this area.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive profile, this facility also performed well in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best grades in that category with an A. Inspection scores weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this category tend to have very few severe deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
In addition, this nursing home also received favorable short-term care grades in our assessment. In fact, we awarded them one of our higher scores in that category, with a grade of B. In the category of short-term care, we seek to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the number of residents who returned home from the facility. This place fared as well as just about any nursing home in Texas in this area with 64.6 percent of its patients returning home. At most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to our last area, we gave this nursing home a D in our nursing category. This was the nursing home's worst category rating. Nevertheless, you shouldn't over-emphasize one weak category. Our nursing grade analyzes several subcategories, many of which are associated with nursing hours. This facility provided 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is below the national average. Finally, we also looked at some quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This facility was above average in two of the major statistics we focus on, with good marks for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
