Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not bad, it really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our best scores. Inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this category typically have very few severe deficiencies. 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. Based on this, we still had favorable view of this facility's recent inspections.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we awarded this facility a grade of B+ in our long-term care category. This is one of our higher scores. Facilities that do well in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 96.64225 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we gave this nursing home an F. This is certainly not one of this facility's better areas. Nursing ratings are based largely on quantity of nursing care available. With a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily, this facility's nurse staffing levels were well below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This place performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these metrics to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed was short-term care. It received an F for this category, which is a rock bottom grade. This is obviously a significant concern. In the area of short-term care, we strive to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics sunk this nursing home's short-term care score.
