Facility Inspections
To pair with its relatively modest overall score, we gave this facility a grade of A+ for its inspection grade. This score is far better than its overall score. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also received high marks in the area of long-term care, with a very impressive score of A- in this category. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure residents are kept in good health. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 99.42693 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a proven method to minimize unnecessary deaths for the senior population. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality
The third area we analyzed was short-term care. Unfortunately, in that area, we gave this facility an F. This is not nearly as strong as a few of its other category scores. Quite frankly, this is a lower grade than we were expecting. Short-term care ratings are critical for residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates more skilled nursing services. This means a broad range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last measure we looked at in this category is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.8 percent of its patients returning home. This was quite a bit below average.
Nurse Quality
The last area we assessed is nursing, which proved to be this facility's worst area. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this area, which is clearly a major disappointment. We scrutinized the licensure of nurses at the facility, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses worked with patients, in computing our grade in this area. This facility averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is not a very impressive figure. In addition to its weak nursing hour totals, this place also earned poor scores in several of the quality-based measures we considered in computing our nursing ratings. We found that a higher percentage of this facility's residents experienced falls which led to serious injury.
