Facility Inspections
To go along with its decent overall score, we gave this facility an A for our inspections rating. This score is far better than the facility's overall rating. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this area typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was awarded a positive score in our short-term care category. We gave this nursing home an above average grade of B in that area. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. We were very impressed to find that this facility provides its patients substantially more physical therapist hours than most other facilities. The last statistic we assessed in this category is the number of residents who returned home from the nursing home. We found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in Texas in this area with 62.9 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, at most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's third highest area is long-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a B-. In the category of long-term care, we focus more on the quantity of services provided by a nursing home, as opposed to more sophisticated services. One of the statistics we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
The final area we rated was nursing. We awarded this facility a grade of D in nursing, making this the nursing home's least impressive area. In calculating a facility's nursing rating, we look at the amount of time nurses spend with patients as well as the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home averaged just 3.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. On top of receiving below average marks for total nursing hours, this place was less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of residents suffering pressure ulcers and found this place was at roughly 150 percent of the national average in this metric.

However, some facilities may need to rely on these drugs due to having more residents suffering from cognitive disorders.
