Facility Inspections
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home outperformed its overall score in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our best scores in that area with an A. Inspection ratings account for several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this area typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. We were not able to locate information about this nursing home's deficiencies. We would like to have more information about this facility. Without having complete deficiency related data, it ended up being a challenge to grade this nursing home in this category.
Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, we gave this facility a grade of B+ in our long-term care category. This is one of our better grades. Facilities that receive this type of grade in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are well cared for. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 89.532295 percent of its residents. This is a few points less than we expected but still a decent percentage. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, we were pleased to find facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
Turning to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing score. We gave this nursing home an D. The nursing grade consists of a handful of factors, most of which are associated with nursing hours. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This facility fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we rated was short-term care. We gave it a lowly F in this area, which is a poor score. This is clearly a significant concern. Short-term care ratings are important for prospective residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This means a wide scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Not surprisingly, we discovered that this facility provides significantly less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than a typical facility. The final measure we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics sunk this facility's short-term care score.
