Short-term Care Quality
To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this facility a grade of A for our short-term care grade. In computing our short-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to create a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. One of this nursing home's strengths is physical therapy hours. We found that it offers more hours with physical therapists to its residents than most facilities. The final datapoint we assessed in this area is the number of residents that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in Kansas in this area with 68.3 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, at most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its strong resume, this facility earned a grade of B for its inspections rating. This is a well above average score in this category. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to be an immediate risk to resident health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.

Nurse Quality
Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. Our nursing score focuses on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of training of the nurses and the number of hours spent with patients. This place offers extremely high levels of nursing care, averaging 4.2 hours per resident daily. This is more nursing care than nearly any other nursing home provides. Lastly, we also looked at nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these datapoints as predictive indicators of the quality of nursing care offered, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
Our next area is long-term care, in which we awarded this nursing home a grade of B- in that area. For patients in need of a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. While we determined this nursing home had an impressive amount of nursing hours provided by nurses and other nursing staff, we found its vaccination rate to be a bit lower than we expected. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 73.68421 percent of its patients. This is a figure we would love to see this nursing home improve. Nevertheless, this place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 1.65 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
