Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this place really excelled in the category of inspections, where it received an A. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we gave this nursing home a grade of B in our long-term care category. This happens to be one of our higher grades. For prospective patients seeking a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 50.909092 percent of its residents. This is somewhat lower than we expected but still a decent figure. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home's next highest score is short-term care. However, with a D in this category, it still performed relatively poorly. Short-term care scores are based on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. With a grade in this range in this category, we were not stunned to discover this facility was well below average in many staffing metrics we focus on. In fact, it supplied substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The last statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics was damning for this facility's short-term care grade.
Nurse Quality
The final area we looked at is nursing, which proved to be a weak link for this nursing home. We awarded this facility a grade of D in nursing. Nursing grades are heavily correlated with levels of nurse staffing. This place provided just 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This statistic is quite a bit below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This facility fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these metrics to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
