Facility Inspections
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home outperformed its overall grade in the area of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best grades in that category with a grade of A+. Inspection ratings are tied to datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also excelled in the area of long-term care. In fact, we awarded it a score of A- in that category, which happens to be one of our highest grades. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are kept in good health. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 81.33704 percent of its patients. This is a few points below what we were hoping for but still a respectable figure. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing grade. We gave this facility an impressive grade of D. In calculating a nursing home's nursing rating, we assess the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients and the levels of training of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This facility performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these statistics to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we rated was short-term care, which is this nursing home's least impressive area. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in that category. Of course, this grade pulled down the facility's overall profile a bit. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to measure a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To provide highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. It appears that this place was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the staffing figures we looked at. The last measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its patients returning home.
