Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall score was not a highlight, it received a somewhat respectable score in the area of inspections. We awarded it a grade of B- for this category, which is not bad. Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of 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. Even with this deficiency, this place still had a relatively favorable report.
Short-term Care Quality
The second most favorable category we gave this nursing home in any area came in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.

Long-term Care Quality
The third category we analyzed was long-term care, where this nursing home received a grade of C in this area. In forming these long-term care scores, we quantify the facility's personal care services. After we finished assessing the amount of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinates 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to our final category, this nursing home did not fare very well in this area either. With a bottom of the barrel grade of F in nursing, this is really as as uninspiring as it gets. When computing our nursing scores, we look at both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is well below average. In addition to receiving below average scores for total nursing hours, this nursing home was less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of residents suffering pressure ulcers and found this facility was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this statistic. This is a bad sign when you consider that so many bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. This statistic really dragged down this nursing home's nursing grade substantially.
