Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home really excelled in our short-term care rating, with an A- in this category. In the area of short-term care, we seek to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. This nursing home is above the national average both in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents. These are generally good indicators of quality short-term care. The final item we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that it performed as well as just about any nursing home in Texas in this area with 59.1 percent of its patients returning home.
Facility Inspections
Inspections is another category where this nursing home excelled. In fact, we gave this facility a grade of A- for our inspections rating. This grade is far more impressive than its overall score. Inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area generally have few of these severe deficiencies. This facility was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to be an imminent threat to resident safety or health. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-, which is a decent grade. The nursing grade is based on a handful of subcategories, many of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. Based on the CMS data, this nursing home offers 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing ratings also weigh quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed better than average in this area.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's weakest area was long-term care, which is the last area we analyzed. Sadly, it received a lowly F in this area. Despite multiple respectable scores in other categories, this grade is still alarming so we wanted to make sure you are aware. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means the facility did not perform well in our quality measures relating to patient care. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. As it turns out, this facility administered the vaccine to only 41.059605 percent of its patients, which is several points lower than we expected. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.51 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
