Facility Inspections
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home outperformed its overall score in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our highest grades in this category with an A+. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this area tend to have few severe deficiencies. While this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we awarded this nursing home a B+ in our long-term care category. This is one of our higher scores. For long-term care residents, the primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 80.932205 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
Turning to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing grade. In fact, we gave this facility an D. Nursing scores are tied to quantity of nursing care available. This place provided only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is well below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these metrics to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's least impressive category was short-term care, which is the final category we assessed. For this category, we awarded this nursing home a D. Our short-term care grades are believed to be more meaningful for those needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the measures we considered. The last item we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics doomed this facility's short-term care grade.
