Wesley Woods Health & Rehabilitation is an average-sized facility located in Woodway, Texas. With an overall score of B, this facility is a quality option. We found this facility to be better than the majority of the nursing homes in Woodway, which has a city grade of B-. You also may want to review this nursing home's category grades below. We discuss long-term care in the next section.

On top of receiving a strong overall score, this nursing home also received an elite long-term care score. We awarded it one of our better grades in that category, with an A+. Facilities that excel in this category typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.36 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home.

In addition, this nursing home also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of A. Few nursing homes performed as well in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. While this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Turning to the category of nursing care, this facility didn't perform quite as well in this area as some of the categories discussed above. Nevertheless, a grade of C in this category is by no means a bad score. Our nursing rating focuses on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of skill of those nurses and the amount of time spent with residents. With 4 hours of nursing care per resident daily, this facility surpassed the national average. We also look at the qualifications of these nurses and add more weight to hours worked by skilled nurses. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in some quality-focused statistics. Specifically, we look at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these datapoints as predictive indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.

The next area we scored is short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in our short-term care category, leaving this as its weakest category grade. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 41.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
