Facility Inspections
Although we gave this nursing home a horrible overall score, we gave it an A for our inspections score. This grade is far more impressive than the nursing home's overall grade. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even with this deficiency, this nursing home still received a relatively favorable report.
Nurse Quality
This facility ended up receiving rock bottom score in our nursing category. It received an F in this category. Our nursing score is largely based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This statistic is far below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This facility fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these datapoints to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality
This facility wound up receiving a bottom of the barrel score in our long-term care area. It was given an F in this category. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it generally means the nursing home didn't perform well in our quality measures relating to patient care. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 92.49147 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is a few points less than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best score in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we analyzed was short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F in this category, which is an abysmal score. Our short-term care grades are critical for patients seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires more highly-skilled nursing. This means a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Not surprisingly, we discovered that this facility offers substantially less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical nursing home. The final measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.9 percent of its patients returning home.
