Facility Inspections
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility outperformed its overall score in the category of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest scores in that category with an A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively minor. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second highest area turned out to be its long-term care grade, where it was given a grade of B-. Our long-term care grades are important for people requiring non-healthcare services such as personal care. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This facility also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
Turning to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing score. We gave this facility an impressive grade of D. Our nursing score is mostly tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This figure is far below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This place fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these datapoints to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we rated was short-term care, which proved to be this facility's worst category. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in that category. Our short-term care grade is generally employed to judge a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have better levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. Considering its poor grade in this category, we weren't surprised to find that this place offers far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
