Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A for that category, which is one of our best scores. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively insignificant. It doesn't look like we have deficiency counts for this nursing home. We wish we had more data for this nursing home. Without having access to all of the deficiency related data, it is challenging to grade the place in this category.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next highest category turned out to be long-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a B-. Long-term care grades focus on a nursing home's assistance with daily living instead of the highly skilled nursing and healthcare services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is an above average total. This facility also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed was short-term care. This facility's received a poor short-term care grade where it was given a lowly F. In our short-term care score, we attempt to forge a sound barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess the facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Considering its weak rating in this category, we were not shocked to find this facility provided significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other facilities. The final measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics sunk this nursing home's short-term care score.
Nurse Quality
The final category we assessed was nursing. This facility was given a poor grade of F in that category. We assessed the licensure of nurses working for the nursing home, as well as the quantity of time those nurses worked with residents, in computing our score in this category. 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. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this facility also did not perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing pressure ulcers and major falls. This facility had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home. This could be a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, these statistics hurt this facility's nursing rating significantly.
