Nurse Quality

This nursing home's nursing grade was notably better than its overall score. Due to a strong performance in this category, it earned a quality score in that category with a B. Nursing grades are based in large part on quantity of nursing care available. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home Arkansas in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as having a policy of turning a resident even once per day.

Facility Inspections

We would also like to point out this facility's strong inspection grade. This facility earned a B in this category, which is one of our better grades. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Long-term Care Quality

The next category we assessed was long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B. It actually fared better than most facilities in this area. For residents looking for a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 81.818184 percent of its patients, which is a bit lower than we anticipated. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

The next category we assessed is short-term care. For this category, we gave this facility a grade of C. Short-term care grades are generally employed to measure a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to provide highly rated rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to feature higher levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. Unfortunately, it does not look like this facility provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The last measure we considered in this area is the number of residents that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
