Facility Inspections
We want to point out that this facility outperformed its overall score in the area of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our highest grades in this area with an A. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's second most favorable area is long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C. For prospective residents in need of a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.05 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
We gave this facility just a D for our short-term care grade. This is not an impressive grade. Short-term care scores are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a broad spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Given its score in this area, we weren't surprised to find that this nursing home was well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 4.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
Nurse Quality
The next area we rated was nursing, which was this facility's weakest area. We gave it an F in this category, which is obviously a major concern. There are numerous factors included in this category. Most of the criteria reflect staffing levels. With a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this facility's nurse staffing levels were significantly below the national average. In addition to receiving below average scores for nursing hours, this place was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of patients suffering pressure ulcers and found that this facility was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in this metric.
