Nurse Quality
This nursing home received a nursing score which is stronger than its overall grade. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B+ in this area. There are several factors within this category. Most of the factors are tied to nurse staffing. This place offers extremely high levels of nursing care, averaging 4.2 hours per patient daily. This is more nursing care than nearly any other facility provides. Lastly, this nursing home also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In terms of the percentage of its residents sustaining falls leading to major injury, this facility performed as well as any facility in Arkansas.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned a grade of B+. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this category usually have very few severe deficiencies. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we looked at was short-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of B. It actually outpaced most nursing homes in this area. In our short-term care score, we strive to craft a meaningful measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess a facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that it outperformed the majority of facilities in the country in this area with 55.6 percent of its patients returning home. This is a higher rate than most facilities.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at is long-term care. We gave it a grade of C in this category. This is a perfectly acceptable grade in this category. Long-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's volume of nursing services. This includes a vast scope of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. This facility's vaccination data weren't as favorable a few of its other data points in this category, such as its number of nursing hours per resident. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 63.8796 percent of its patients. We'd like to see some improvement in this area in the future. Lastly, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this place had 2.22 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Although this figure is somewhat concerning, this statistic can be skewed for some facilities based on the medical complexity of patients.
