Facility Inspections
We want to point out that this nursing home outperformed its overall grade in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest scores in that category with an A+. Inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this category tend to have few severe deficiencies. This place was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered severe. This means that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent threat to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also received high marks in the category of long-term care, with top-shelf score of A- in this category. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. After looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is far higher than the average nursing home. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
We awarded this nursing home just a D for our short-term care grade. This is not one of our better scores. Our short-term care grades are probably most meaningful for folks in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This includes not just nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. It appears that this nursing home was below average in two of the key staffing areas we looked at. It supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other nursing homes. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics was damning for this facility's short-term care score.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the final area, we gave this nursing home a grade of D in the area of nursing. This is the nursing home's least impressive category grade. Naturally, this category hurt the nursing home's overall profile to some degree. There are quite a few criteria included in this grade. Most of the data points reflect the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This place performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
