Facility Inspections
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it earned an impressive inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a grade of A-. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are quite 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. In spite of this deficiency, this place still had a relatively positive inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
We also wanted to draw your attention to this nursing home's abysmal long-term care grade where it was given a lowly F. For patients looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this nursing home also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.

Short-term Care Quality
In addition, we gave this nursing home a rock-bottom F in the area of short-term care. Our short-term care scores are probably most important for folks needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. With its score in this category, we weren't stunned to find that this nursing home is well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the figures we looked at. Honestly, this was what we expected to find. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely was not a strength for this facility. We found that just 4 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to the fourth area, this facility really didn't perform well here either. Due to a poor grade of F in nursing, this is about as as uninspiring as it gets. Nursing grades are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This place averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This figure is significantly below average. In addition to rating below average in nursing hours per resident, this facility also had poor marks in the quality-based metrics we looked at in determining our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This facility was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in both of these statistics. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. These statistics pulled down this nursing home's nursing rating significantly.
