Facility Inspections
While we were not very complementary of this facility's overall score, it actually received a very impressive inspection report this year. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best grades in that category with a grade of A. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. 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. In spite of this deficiency, this place still received a relatively favorable report.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility received its next most favorable category score in the category of long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of C in this category, which is a respectable grade. For prospective patients in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. We were somewhat surprised to discover that this nursing home vaccinated just 87.15365 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Nevertheless, this facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. Nursing scores are based largely on quality and quantity of nursing care. This place provided only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This facility performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these datapoints to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we looked at is short-term care. We gave it a lowly F in this area, which is a poor grade. Short-term care scores are critical for patients looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. This means a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. As you might expect, we learned that this place offers significantly less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the average facility. The final metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 2.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics was damning for this nursing home's short-term care grade.
