Facility Inspections
To pair with its decent overall grade, we gave this nursing home a grade of A for its inspection grade. This score is far better than the facility's overall score. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the category of long-term care, we awarded this facility a grade of A- in that area. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is very impressive. Pneumonia is often a dangerous ailment for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't leave this to chance. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.05 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
Another concern was the F this facility received in the category of short-term care. Our short-term care grade is often employed to judge a facility's performance with rehabilitation To offer high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally must feature better levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. As you might expect, we found that this place provides far less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical facility. The last item we considered in this category is the number of patients who eventually returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.3 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
The next area we assessed is nursing, which turned out to be this facility's weakest area. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this category, which is certainly very concerning. Our nursing grade assesses many components, most of which are associated with nursing hours. 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. Unfortunately, this facility also had abysmal marks in several of the quality-based metrics to pair with its low nursing hours. For starters, we looked at the percent of patients experiencing pressure ulcers. This facility was at more than twice the national average in this datapoint.
