Facility Inspections
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home really outperformed its overall grade in the category of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent government inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our highest scores in this category with an A. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a favorable score in long-term care. This facility received a B in this category, which happens to be one of our more favorable grades. For prospective patients looking for a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. After assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 82.403435 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is somewhat below what we anticipated but still a decent percentage. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
Turning to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing rating. In fact, we gave this nursing home an impressive grade of D. Nursing grades are mostly based on the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This place performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these datapoints to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's least impressive category was short-term care, which is the final category we looked at. In this category, we awarded this facility a grade of just D. Our short-term care scores are critical for patients requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a broad scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. With its abysmal grade in this area, we were not stunned to learn that this nursing home provides substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most nursing homes. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
