Welbrook Centennial Hills

In addition to receiving a great overall score, this facility received an A+ in the area of short-term care. With our short-term care category, we endeavor to create a meaningful measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 6.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. In fact, nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A. Our nursing score is primarily associated with a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Adding to its impressive category grades, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+ for our inspections rating. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

The last area we rated is long-term care, which ended up being this facility's least impressive category. We gave this facility a grade of D in that category. However, we would not judge this facility based only on a single category, since it received a few superb grades in other areas. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in long-term care it is often a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the facility is not as well-staffed. One of the data points we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. It doesn't appear that this nursing home provided data regarding vaccinations. To our surprise, this facility was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
