Long-term Care Quality
This place fared well in our long-term care category. We awarded it a grade of A for that area. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 93.84615 percent of its patients. This is slightly less than we anticipated but still a respectable percentage. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Facility Inspections
Inspections is another area where this facility excelled. In fact, we awarded this facility an A for our inspections category. This is far more impressive than its overall grade. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This place was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies to create an immediate threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality
As it turns out, this facility only received a grade of D for its short-term care grade, which is well below average in this category. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to assess a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation In order to have highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally must have better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. It appears that this facility was subpar in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The last metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its patients returning home. This was quite a bit below average.
Nurse Quality
The next area we analyzed was nursing. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in the area of nursing, leaving this as the facility's weakest category grade. The nursing grade considers several subcategories. The most important one is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. This particular nursing home offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This number is well below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This facility performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
