Long-term Care Quality
This facility really performed well in the area of long-term care, where it earned an impressive grade of A-. Few facilities performed better in this category. If not for this category, this nursing home's overall grade would have been lower. For prospective patients in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 53.535355 percent of its patients. This is a few points lower than we anticipated. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this nursing home also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an B+. Inspection scores are tied to several items found on the a nursing home's inspections. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this area typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This place was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to create an immediate risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.

Nurse Quality
Turning to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing grade. In fact, we gave this nursing home a grade of D. Nursing scores are heavily correlated with levels of nurse staffing. This particular place provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This figure is significantly below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This facility fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed was short-term care, which proved to be this facility's least impressive category. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this category, which is clearly very disappointing. Short-term care grades are often employed to judge a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To offer highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to provide higher levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. With a score of this caliber in this area, we were not surprised to find this facility was well below average in two of the key staffing figures we assess. It provided significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most facilities. The final metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.3 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below average.
