As a result, it earned one of our highest scores in that category with an A. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid nursing homes with a list of deficiencies flagged. 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.

This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed was short-term care. We gave it an F for this area, which is a poor score. In forming these short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to create a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Considering its poor grade in this category, we were not shocked to discover that this nursing home offered far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most nursing homes. The last metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics sunk this nursing home's short-term care score.
