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. A couple of minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's second most favorable area is its long-term care score, where it was awarded a grade of C. In determining our long-term care ratings, we analyze the facility's personal care services. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. We were somewhat surprised to discover that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 76.19835 percent of its patients for pneumonia. On a more positive note, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility's second least favorable category is short-term care, where it earned a grade of just D in that area. This is a relatively poor score. In calculating our short-term care scores, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to devise a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. With a score this poor for this area, we weren't stunned to learn that this nursing home was below average in many staffing figures we assess. The nursing home supplied substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other nursing homes. The last metric we looked at in this category is the number of patients that returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.6 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below the national average.
Nurse Quality
The last category we analyzed is nursing, which turned out to be this nursing home's least impressive area. We gave this facility a grade of D in this category. The nursing category consists of many data points, many of which are associated with nursing hours. This nursing home offered only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is an alarmingly low total. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This place performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these data points to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.
