Welbrook Yuma Opco

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. It doesn't look like we were able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. We wish we had more data for this facility. Without having access to deficiency data, it ended up being difficult to really assess it in this area.

Compounding its impressive performance in other areas, we gave this facility a score of A for its short-term care grade. Our short-term care grades are presumably most meaningful for people requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional skilled nursing services. This includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5.6 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- in that category. There are a host of criteria within this grade. Most of these criteria are tied to staffing levels. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

The next area we graded was long-term care. We gave this facility one of our higher scores in this area, with a B. While this wasn't as strong as several of its other grades, it is nevertheless a fine score. For residents looking for a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this nursing home provided information about vaccinations. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
