Facility Inspections
The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall grade is its impeccable government inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our higher scores in that area, with an A-. This is a notably better grade than the facility's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. 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. Based on this, we had favorable view of this facility's inspections.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second highest area is long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of C. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 98.65772 percent of its patients, which is more than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the category of short-term care, this facility received just a D in that area. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4.4 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's least impressive category was nursing, which is the last category we looked at. For this area, we gave this facility a D. Our nursing score is mostly associated with a facility's nurse staffing. 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. This place also had terrible marks in some of the quality-based metrics to go along with its low nursing hour totals. We looked at the percent of patients suffering pressure ulcers and we were disappointed. This facility was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in this area.
