Facility Inspections
On top of performing well overall, this facility earned a nearly flawless inspection report. Therefore, it received one of our highest grades in that area with a grade of A+. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Contributing to this nursing home's list of accomplishments, it also was awarded a superb long-term care grade. We gave them an impressive grade of A- in this category. When facilities receive a score in this range in long-term care it typically means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is much higher than most nursing homes. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.82 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was awarded a favorable short-term care grade. Indeed, we gave it an above average score of B+ in this category. In the category of short-term care, we try to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The final measure we considered in this area is the number of residents that eventually returned home from the nursing home. This proved to be more of a strength for this nursing home. We found that it performed as well as just about any facility in Oklahoma with 74 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
The final category we graded is nursing. In this category, we gave this facility a solid grade of C. This actually ended up being this nursing home's worst area. Our nursing rating focuses on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed admirably in this area. Avoiding serious falls is usually a good indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a facility offers enough nurses to assist its patients.
