Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this facility really excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A. Few facilities performed better in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. 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 still had favorable view of this nursing home's recent inspections.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's second most favorable category was its long-term care score, where it received a B-. In computing these long-term care ratings, we quantify the nursing home's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. After assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. This facility also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality
As it turns out, this facility only earned a D for its short-term care grade, which is not an impressive grade. With our short-term care category, we seek to forge a sound measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess a facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. As you might expect, we learned that this nursing home provides substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical facility. The final datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below the national average.
Nurse Quality
The next category we assessed is nursing, was this nursing home's weakest category. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in that area. Our nursing rating weighs a handful of data points, many of which are tied to nursing hours. 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. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
