Facility Inspections
To go along with its decent overall score, we gave this facility an A- for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than its overall grade. Inspection scores account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this area generally have few severe deficiencies. We weren't able to track down deficiency data for this nursing home. We would like to have more data for this nursing home. Without having the deficiency related data, it ended up being a challenge to grade this facility in terms of this category.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a favorable score in long-term care. This facility earned a B+ in this area, which is one of our more favorable scores. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 78.76923 percent of its patients. This is slightly lower than we anticipated. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second lowest category was short-term care, where it earned a grade of just D in that area. This is a well below average score. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Given its score in this category, we were not stunned to discover that this nursing home was well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the figures we looked at. Frankly, this was about what we expected to find. Lastly, we considered the number of patients that eventually returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
Nurse Quality
The next area we scored is nursing, which proved to be this facility's weakest area. We gave it an abysmal F for this area, which is certainly very concerning. The nursing grade analyzes a handful of data points, however, the primary one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This particular place offered a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This statistic is well below the national average. To pair with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this facility also did not fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and major falls. This place had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average nursing home. This may be a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, these statistics hurt this facility's nursing grade quite a bit.
