Facility Inspections
This facility received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its excellent inspection reports in recent years. We gave them an A+ in this category. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. 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 favorable view of this facility's recent inspections.
Short-term Care Quality
One of this facility's better category scores was in the area of short-term care. This ended up being its second best category. In that category, we awarded this facility a B-. In computing our short-term care ratings, we look at the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This area is considered to be a fair assessment of the nursing home's rehabilitation services. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The key is determining what effect this had on quality of care. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 5.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we gave this facility an F in the category of long-term care. For residents seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. After considering the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinates 99.4382 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility also keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
Nurse Quality
The last area we analyzed is nursing, which was this nursing home's weakest category. Sadly, it received an abysmal F in this area, which is certainly very disappointing. When calculating our nursing grades, we assess both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of the nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. This facility also had abysmal marks in some of the quality-based metrics to pair with its low nursing hours. We looked at the percentage of residents suffering pressure ulcers and we were quite disappointed. This facility was at roughly 150 percent of the national average in this measure. This is a bad sign in light of the fact that many bed sores could be avoided with better nursing care. This metric helped pull down this facility's nursing rating quite a bit.
