Short-term Care Quality
We want to point out that this nursing home's short-term care rating exceeded its overall grade. This facility received a grade of B+ in this category, which is a very solid grade. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. This facility performed much better in the final metric we assessed in this category, which was the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. It fared as well as just about any facility in Oklahoma in this metric with 67.4 percent of its residents returning home.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home's inspection grade also was better than its overall score. Due to a quality inspection report this year, it received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to resident safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
This facilities third best area is long-term care. We gave it a grade of C in this category. This is basically a middle of the pack score in this area. For prospective residents seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. This facility's vaccination records were a bit weaker than a few of its other datapoints in this category, such as its number of nursing hours per resident. This nursing home gave the pneumonia vaccine to just 89.830505 percent of its residents. We would love to see some improvement in this area in the future. On a more positive note, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.45 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's worst area was nursing, which is the last category we assessed. For this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of just D. When determining a nursing home's nursing grade, we assess the amount of time nurses are with residents as well as the level of licensure of those nurses. In this facility's case, quantity of care does not appear to be the problem. According to its CMS reports, this facility provided an average of 4.1 hours of nursing care per patient daily, which was above the national average. Despite being above average in terms of nursing hours, this nursing home had a few less favorable scores in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of patients having falls leading to major injury and found this nursing home to be above the national average in this statistic. This is not what we like to see here. We believe that many falls could likely be avoided with better nursing care. This statistic contributed to this nursing home receiving a poor nursing grade.
