Facility Inspections
It should also be noted that this nursing home's inspection score outpaced its overall grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of B for its inspections rating, which is a very solid score. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to create an immediate risk to resident health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
Additionally, we also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this facility was awarded strong short-term care marks in this assessment. We awarded them one of our better grades in that area, with a B. This proved to be the facility's second highest grade. Short-term care scores are meaningful for individuals looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who returned home from this facility. We found that 5.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Long-term care grades are pivotal for prospective residents seeking non-healthcare services such as personal care. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. This facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
The final area we rated is nursing. We gave it a lowly F for this category, which is a bottom of the barrel score. This is certainly a significant disappointment. The nursing score is based on numerous data points. The most heavily weighted variable is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This particular facility averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This figure is far below average. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this facility also did not perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of residents experiencing pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average facility.
