Facility Inspections
We want to point out that this nursing home outperformed its overall grade in the area of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best scores in that category with an A+. Our inspection grades are tied to items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the category of long-term care, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- in that category. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in this category tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are kept in good health. One of the factors we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 79.19075 percent of its patients. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we gave this nursing home an F. This is certainly not one of this facility's better areas. Our nursing rating is primarily associated with a nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This figure is significantly below the national average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these statistics to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we graded was short-term care, which is this facility's worst area. It received an abysmal F in this area, which is clearly a major concern. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Not surprisingly, we discovered that this place provides substantially less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than a typical facility. The final item we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics doomed this nursing home's short-term care grade.
