Facility Inspections
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility outperformed its overall grade in the area of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent government inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our best grades in this category with an A+. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area generally have few severe deficiencies. This nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home an impressive grade in long-term care. This facility received a grade of B in this category, which happens to be 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 patients. One of the criteria we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 69.411766 percent of its patients. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, at least this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility's third highest score is short-term care. However, with a D in this area, it still performed somewhat badly. Short-term care grades are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a broad scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Finally, we assessed the number of patients that ultimately returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
The next area we rated was nursing, which is this nursing home's least impressive area. We gave this facility a D in that category. Naturally, this category pulled down the nursing home's overall profile to a certain degree. Our nursing category includes several factors, many of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. This facility averaged only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is an alarmingly low total. On top of its below average nursing hours, this facility also received poor scores in several of the quality-based metrics we considered in calculating our nursing scores. We found that more of this nursing home's patients suffered falls which led to serious injury. We believe that many falls could likely be avoided with better nursing care. This statistic contributed to this nursing home receiving a terrible nursing grade.
