Facility Inspections
Although we did not have many favorable things to say about this nursing home's overall score, it did receive a respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in this category with a score of B-. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively insignificant. This facility was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
We also awarded this facility a grade of B- for our nursing rating. Nursing scores are largely associated with the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This figure is far below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics. Although this place got docked a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in a few of these quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it did well in this metric. This is often an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of moving patients more frequently.

Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home's next highest score was long-term care. Nevertheless, with a D in this category, it still performed somewhat badly. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care likely don't provide the kind of consistent around the clock care that some other nursing homes offer. After we finished assessing the volume of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. We were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated a relatively low 60.082306 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we scored is short-term care, which proved to be this nursing home's weakest area. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this category. With our short-term care assessment, we seek to craft a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at the facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Considering its grade in this category, we were not surprised to discover that this nursing home was well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
