Park Manor of Conroe

We want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility outperformed its overall score in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best scores in this category with an A. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies an imminent risk to patient health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Another one of this facility's better category scores came in the area of long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B. Facilities that receive this type of grade in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are well cared for. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 99.649124 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a score of D. Our nursing rating focuses on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of licensure of those nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. 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. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these metrics to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

The next category we looked at is short-term care, which proved to be this facility's worst category. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this area, which is certainly a major disappointment. Our short-term care grades are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a wide scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Considering its weak score in this area, we were not surprised to learn that this facility provides significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other nursing homes. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the number of residents that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.2 percent of its residents returning home.
