Facility Inspections
The main reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it received an excellent inspection grade. In fact, its inspection score was far better than its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave this facility a grade of A+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some can be relatively insignificant. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Based on this, we had a generally favorable view of this facility's inspections.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's better category scores was in the category of long-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of B. It actually outpaced most nursing homes in this area. For long-term care residents, the primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 71.652176 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is slightly less than we were hoping for but still a decent figure. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second least favorable category is short-term care, where it received just a D in that category. This is a relatively poor grade. In computing our short-term care ratings, we look at a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. This rating is typically a reliable measure of the facility's rehabilitation services. Given its weak rating in this area, we weren't shocked to discover that this nursing home provides far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other nursing homes. The final item we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 5 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below the national average.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to the last category, this nursing home didn't perform very well. Due to a poor grade of F in nursing, this was its weakest grade. The nursing grade is based on quite a few data points, many of which are associated with nursing hours. This facility provided a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is well below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing scores. This place performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these data points to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
