Facility Inspections
On top of performing well in its overall grade, this facility performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively minor. This facility was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies an imminent risk to patient safety or health. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, this facility also was awarded favorable long-term care grades this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our better grades in that category, with a score of B+. When facilities receive this kind of score in long-term care it is usually a good sign for patient care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 99.337746 percent of its residents. This is a reliable method to minimize unnecessary hospitalizations for the elderly population. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. This facility didn't perform quite as well in this category as it did in some other categories. Nevertheless, this is still a respectable score. Nursing grades are primarily tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This particular facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This figure is significantly below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics. While this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of these quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it fared well in this metric. This can be an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as employing a system of moving residents at least once a day.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed was short-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of B-. In our short-term care category, we seek to craft a valuable measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess the nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. It does not look like this facility provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
