Facility Inspections
To pair with its relatively modest overall grade, we awarded this nursing home an A+ for our inspections rating. This is far better than its overall score. Inspection scores account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area usually have few of these severe deficiencies. 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also received high marks in the area of long-term care, with a strong grade of A- in this area. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 97.31904 percent of its residents. This is a reliable method to minimize unnecessary deaths for the aged 65 and up population. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
Turning to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing grade. We gave this facility an D. Our nursing score is based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of training of the nurses and the quantity of hours spent with residents. This nursing home averaged just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This statistic is significantly below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed was short-term care. It received an F in this area, which is a bottom of the barrel score. This is clearly a major concern. Our short-term care grade is often employed to gauge a facility's performance with rehabilitation. To have highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have better levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. Unfortunately, we discovered that this place provided less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. The last statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.6 percent of its patients returning home. This was quite a bit below the national average.
