Facility Inspections
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility outperformed its overall score in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best scores in that area with an A. Our inspection scores account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area typically have few severe deficiencies. This nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to create an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's better category scores came in the category of long-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of B+. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 86.51163 percent of its residents. This is a few points less than we anticipated. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital.

Nurse Quality
Next we looked at nursing grades, where this nursing home received an F, which is a rock bottom grade. This area was definitely not a strength for this facility. Our nursing rating is primarily based on a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home offered a meager 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. On top of its below average nursing hour totals, this facility earned suboptimal scores in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We found that more of this place's patients sustained falls which led to major injury.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we rated is short-term care. Sadly, it received an abysmal F in this category, which is a bottom of the barrel score. This is certainly a major disappointment. In determining our short-term care grades, we assess a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. This area is more often than not a solid assessment of a nursing home's rehabilitation. With its score in this category, we were not surprised to discover that this place is well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the measures we looked at. Honestly, this was about what we expected to find. The last item we considered in this area is the number of patients that were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 43 percent of its residents returning home.
