Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its excellent inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining 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 inspections.
Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, we also wanted to note that this nursing home was awarded strong long-term care marks this year. We gave them one of our better scores in this category, with a grade of B. This proved to be the facility's second highest score. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are well cared for. After assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 75.73416 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is a few points lower than we expected but still a respectable figure. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, at least this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility's second least favorable score is short-term care, where it earned just a D in that category. This is a well below average grade. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Considering its score in this area, we were not surprised to discover that this facility is well below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we looked at. Frankly, this was what we expected here. Finally, we looked at the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
Nurse Quality
The last area we rated was nursing. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this area, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. This is certainly a major concern. When computing a nursing home's nursing grade, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses are seeing residents and the level of licensure of those nurses. With a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were well below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these statistics to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
