Facility Inspections
While we were not very complementary of this nursing home's overall grade, 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 earned one of our best grades in that category with an A. Inspection ratings are based on several datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these reports. Most importantly, you should avoid facilities that have severe deficiencies linked to endangerment of patients. 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 nursing home still received a relatively favorable inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home was awarded its next highest category score in the category of long-term care. We gave this nursing home a B- in this category, which is a decent score. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinates 99.631 percent of its residents for pneumonia. This place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. The nursing rating features numerous datapoints. The most heavily weighted variable is the quantity of hours nurses spent with residents. 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 looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This place performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we scored is short-term care, in which this nursing home was given a poor grade in this category also. It received an F in this area, which is obviously a major disappointment. With our short-term care score, we try to craft a fair barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at the nursing home's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Not surprisingly, we discovered that this facility provides substantially less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the typical nursing home. The final item we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.2 percent of its residents returning home.
