Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this facility's overall grade, it actually received a very impressive inspection report this year. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our best grades in that category with an A-. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a middle of the road grade in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of C. Our long-term care grade focuses on a nursing home's assistance with daily living rather than the highly skilled therapy or healthcare services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. One of the datapoints we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 97.72727 percent of its residents. This place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility's next best category is short-term care. Nevertheless, with a grade of D in this area, it still fared somewhat badly. Our short-term care scores are meaningful for people needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a wide range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. As you might expect, we discovered that this facility provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical nursing home. The last measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
Turning to our final area, this facility really did not perform well here either. With an abysmal grade of F in nursing, this is really as bad as it gets. We scrutinized the licensure of nurses at the facility, in addition to the quantity of time the nurses spent with residents, in computing our rating in this area. This facility provided just 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. On top of being below average in nursing hours per resident, this nursing home also had poor scores in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in both of these metrics. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. These metrics helped pull down this nursing home's nursing grade significantly.
