Facility Inspections
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home really outperformed its overall score in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest scores in that area with a grade of A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite insignificant. 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 a generally positive view of this facility's recent inspections.
Long-term Care Quality
The next best area we awarded this nursing home in any category came in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. Our long-term care grades are more important for people in need of more traditional services related to activities of daily living. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to a relatively low 81.333336 percent of its patients, which is somewhat alarming. On a more positive note, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility's next most favorable category was short-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. In the category of short-term care, we seek to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the number of patients that were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 5.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to our next category, this facility did not perform well. Due to a very poor grade of F in nursing, this was this nursing home's weakest category grade. When computing a facility's nursing rating, we look at the quantity of hours nurses commit to residents and the level of licensure of the nurses. This place averaged just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This figure is far below the national average. To pair with its low total nursing hours per patient, this nursing home had bad marks in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of patients having falls which led to serious injury. This place was at more than 150 percent of the national average in this statistic.
