Facility Inspections
We also wanted to point out that this facility has received near flawless health inspections in recent years. We gave them an A+ in this category. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to be an immediate threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home really excelled in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a score of A. Only a select group of nursing homes performed more favorably in this area. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure residents are kept in good health. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 98.70968 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia tragically can be a life or death ailment for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we graded is short-term care. This facility received a very positive short-term care score, with a B+ in the category. In our short-term care grade, we endeavor to create a fair gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess a facility's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. When we looked at this facility's physical therapist hours, we found it offered more hours of physical therapy per day to its residents than most nursing homes. The final measure we looked at in this area 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 71.6 percent of its patients returning home. For most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Nurse Quality
The next category we scored was nursing, where this nursing home was awarded a C. Even though this ended up being its poorest category rating, this is still not a terrible score. When calculating our nursing grades, we look at both staffing levels and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home provides 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this datapoint. This is usually a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as having a policy of moving a patient more frequently.
