Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not bad, it really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our best scores. Our inspection grades weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area typically 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 had a generally positive view of this nursing home's inspections.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received impressive long-term care marks this year. We awarded them one of our higher grades in that area, with a B. This turned out to be the facility's second strongest grade. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care ratings. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 69.31297 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is somewhat less than we were hoping for but still a respectable percentage. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, at least this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Another unfortunate development was the F this facility was given in the area of short-term care. Our short-term care grade is typically used to gauge a facility's performance with rehabilitation To have highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to feature better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. With its abysmal grade in this area, we were not stunned to find that this facility offers far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other facilities. The last statistic we assessed in this category is the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.8 percent of its patients returning home. This was well below the national average.
Nurse Quality
The last category we analyzed is nursing, which ended up being this facility's worst category. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F in this category, which is clearly very concerning. In determining our nursing ratings, we weigh both nursing hours and the training levels of the nurses. This particular nursing home offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This number is far below the national average. Unfortunately, this facility also had terrible marks in several of the quality-based metrics to go along with its low nursing hours. For starters, we looked at the percentage of patients sustaining pressure ulcers. This nursing home was at more than double the national average in this metric. This is quite concerning when you consider that so many bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. This ended up sealing the nursing home's fate of earning a poor nursing grade.
