Sagebrook Sn Health Center is one of four nursing homes located in Cedar Park, Texas. This facility is a subpar facility. A score in this range indicates we found some red flags. Keep in mind that Cedar Park received a city grade of B, so should consider some other options in the city as well. Despite all this, one of the few highlights of this facility's profile is its strong inspection reports. You can continue reading to learn more about inspections and other category grades

Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this nursing home highly overall, we want to draw your attention to its excellent health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A+ in this category. Our inspection grades weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid places with too many severe deficiencies flagged. This place was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
The next highest area we awarded this facility in any area came in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of C. Long-term care scores are based in part on the nursing home's volume of nursing care. This means a broad scope of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this nursing home vaccinated 21.875002 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which happens to be quite a bit lower than what we were hoping for. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.33 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes.
Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home's next best score is short-term care. As it turns out, with a D in this area, it still fared relatively badly. In computing our short-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This score is considered to be a useful measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 43.9 percent of its patients returning home. This was quite a bit below average.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to the fourth area, this nursing home really did not fare very well here either. With a rock bottom grade of F in nursing, this is really as as uninspiring as it gets. Our nursing category analyzes several components, most of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 2.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. To go along with its below average totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this place had really poor scores in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. For starters, we looked at the percent of patients having falls which led to serious injury. This place was at more than 1.5 times the national average in this statistic.
