Facility Inspections
While this facility received a decent overall grade, its inspections score is notably better than its overall grade. Due to a strong government inspection report this year, it earned a strong score in that category with a B+. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this area typically have few of these severe deficiencies. While this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a favorable score in short-term care. This nursing home received a B in this area, which is one of our more favorable grades. In the area of short-term care, we try to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical 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 last datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to return home from the nursing home. This was more of a strength for this facility. We found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in Arkansas in this area with 63.2 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. Nursing ratings are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home offers extremely high levels of nursing care, averaging 4.2 hours per resident per day. This is well above average. Finally, we also baked a few quality measures into our nursing ratings. This nursing home was relatively weak in two of the metrics we focus on, with below average scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. These statistics are usually reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care provided.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's least impressive area was long-term care, which is the final category we scored. For this area, we gave this facility a D. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it generally means the nursing home didn't perform well in our measures relating to resident care. This nursing home's vaccination data weren't as favorable a few of its other data points in this category, such as its nursing hours. It gave the pneumonia vaccine to just 78.125 percent of its residents. We'd love to see some improvement in this area in the future. To our surprise, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.89 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
