Short-term Care Quality
To go along with its strong overall score, we awarded this nursing home an A for our short-term care rating. Our short-term care ratings are likely most important for patients in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Remarkably, this place provides approximately 1.5 times as many hours of services from physical therapists and registered nurses than most facilities we looked at. This is a great sign. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in Texas in this area with 70.6 percent of its patients returning home. With most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive category scores, this nursing home also excelled in the category of inspections, where it received an A-. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Nurse Quality
Adding to its strong resume, this facility also received an excellent nursing score, with a grade of A-. We looked at the skill-level of nurses at the facility, as well as the number of hours those nurses spent with residents, in computing our grade in this area. This nursing home boasts a really impressive 5.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day, of which a significant portion was provided by registered nurses. This is one of the most highly highly trained levels of nurses. In addition to offering high levels of nursing care, this facility also excelled in the quality-based metrics we assessed. For example, it performed as well as any nursing home in the state in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We view these areas as predictive indicators of the caliber of nursing care provided.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we scored was long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility an above average grade of B. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. After considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. It doesn't look like this nursing home provided vaccination data. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
