Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall score was not a highlight, it actually really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. It is typically best to avoid places that have a long list of deficiencies. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to resident safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
We also want to point out that this facility received a decent grade in our nursing category. We awarded it a grade of B- in the area. Nursing ratings are primarily associated with a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, which is well below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures. Although this facility got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in a few of these quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this area. This can be a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as having a policy of turning patients more often.

In calculating our short-term care grades, we analyze a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This category is often a useful measure of a facility's rehabilitation. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. It offered fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last datapoint we assessed in this category is the number of residents who returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. This figure was below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we rated is long-term care. This facility was given a bottom of the barrel grade of F in that area. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it generally means the facility didn't perform well in our measures relating to resident care. After we finished assessing the volume of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 91.01123 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
