The Villages of Dallas turns out to be one of a list of 32 nursing homes in Dallas, Texas. The city has quite a few more options to choose from compared to most other cities in Texas. We awarded this facility an overall grade of B-. A grade in this range requires some solid marks. This grade is right in line with the city grade in Dallas. The best part of this nursing home's profile is its exemplary inspection grade. Inspection reports are discussed in the next section.
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.
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 60.8 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, at most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
