Nurse Quality
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ nursing grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. When computing a nursing home's nursing rating, we look at the number of hours nurses spend with patients as well as the skill levels of those nurses. This facility provided 7.7 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This was one of the higher figures we found. In addition, we found that a significant percentage of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. Both of these statistics are impressive. On top of offering high levels of nursing care, this place also excelled in several of the quality-based metrics we assessed. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the country in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
We also gave this facility a grade of A+ for its short-term care grade. In computing our short-term care grades, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to create a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. This nursing home provided more physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most facilities. This is what we like to find when assessing a nursing home in this category. The final item we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to return home from the facility. We found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in Texas in this area with 57.5 percent of its patients returning home. With most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Facility Inspections
This facility has had near flawless inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A in this category. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This facility received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent risk to patient safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we graded was long-term care. This facility was awarded a better than average nursing score this year, with a B. While this was not quite as elite as many of its other grades, this remains one of the stronger scores in that category. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure residents are well cared for. After we finished assessing the amount of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 95.652176 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly is often a dangerous health condition for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a nursing home doesn't take any chances. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.56 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes.
