If you take a look at the other options in Spring, we are confident you will find this nursing home to be a much better option than most of the nursing homes in the city. This nursing home is stronger in some categories than others, but it did not have any poor grades in any of the major categories. More information about these categories can be found below.

In addition to faring well overall, this nursing home received even higher grades in the category of short-term care. In fact, it received one of our best grades in that category with an A+. In the category of short-term care, we seek to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. This facility is the gold standard when it comes to skilled nursing staffing. It supplied roughly one and a half times as many registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than a typical facility. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that it outperformed the vast majority of nursing homes with 65.8 percent of its residents returning home. This is a significantly higher rate than most nursing homes.

This nursing home also performed well in our inspection category, which is based on the facility's government inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A for that category, which is one of our best grades. Inspection ratings are based on many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's government inspections. Places that excel in this category typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.

This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. This wasn't quite on par with some of its other category grades mentioned above. The nursing grade weighs a handful of components, many of which are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This facility provides a very impressive 4.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. Few nursing homes provide this quantity of nursing care to their patients. Out of this total, many of these hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the most highly trained levels of nurses. Finally, we factored a few quality measures into our nursing ratings. This place fared poorly in two of the major areas we considered, with below average figures for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Turning to our next area, this nursing home received a C for long-term care, which is a respectable score. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. Although we determined this facility has an impressive amount of nursing care provided by nurses and other nursing staff, we found its vaccine statistics to be a bit low. It provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 86.8421 percent of its residents. This is a statistic we'd really like to see this facility bring up. Nevertheless, this place excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
