Long-term Care Quality
On top of receiving a strong overall grade, this facility also received an elite long-term care grade. We awarded it one of our better scores in that category, with an A+. For patients seeking a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 91.80328 percent of its residents. This is a bit less than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Lastly, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. We found that this nursing home had 2.87 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Although this wasn't as strong as some of its other scores in this area, this number can be skewed for some nursing homes due to some of the medical complexity of patients.
Facility Inspections
This facility also excelled in inspections. In fact, we gave it a grade of A for that area. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Unfortunately, it does not look like we were able to find deficiency data for this facility. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C. This facility didn't perform quite as well in this category as it did in some other categories. Nevertheless, this is still a respectable score. Our nursing grade weighs a handful of factors, most of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This place provides an impressive 4.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is among the better totals in Arkansas. Finally, we also factored some quality-based metrics into our nursing grades. Specifically, we looked at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these metrics as good measures of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we graded is short-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a C. Short-term care grades are generally used to score a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to provide highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The final statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 41.4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
