Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was decent, it really fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this area tend to have very few 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. Based on this, we still had positive view of this nursing home's inspections.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's higher category grades came in the area of long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a B+. It actually performed better than most nursing homes in this category. When facilities receive a score in this range in long-term care it typically means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. Once we assessed the volume of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is often a life threatening health condition for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't leave this to chance. Clearly, this place 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 a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
Another strength of this facility is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of D. There are a variety of subcategories within this category. Most of these datapoints relate to staffing levels. This place averaged only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these datapoints to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we analyzed is short-term care. Sadly, it received an F in this category, which is a poor score. This is obviously a significant concern. In determining our short-term care ratings, we analyze a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This rating is considered to be a useful measure of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Based on its grade in this category, we were not surprised to learn that this nursing home is well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the figures we assessed. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 2.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
