Facility Inspections
We want to point out that this facility outperformed its overall grade in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our highest scores in that category with an A-. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite insignificant. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple of minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Short-term Care Quality
In addition, we gave this facility a B in our short-term care category. This is one of our better scores. In the area of short-term care, we seek to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. This nursing home performed much better in the final datapoint we considered in this category, which was the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. It fared as well as just about any facility in Missouri with 60.4 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of C. Nursing scores are based in large part on quality and quantity of nursing care. This nursing home provided just 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, we like to look at quality-based metrics, such as the percentage of residents who suffered pressure ulcers and major falls. These datapoints are measures of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's worst category was long-term care, which is the final category we assessed. We gave it an F for this category. Even with some respectable scores in other areas, this score is nevertheless of a concern so we felt obligated to draw your attention to it. Nursing homes that don't score well in long-term care often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in some of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. We were disappointed to learn that this facility vaccinated only 82.31047 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.29 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best feature in this category.
