In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death.

Once we looked at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 93.71816 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is somewhat lower than we expected but still a respectable percentage. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital.

This facility performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The last area we graded was short-term care. We gave this facility a C in this category. Short-term care ratings are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a vast scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. We weren't able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
