Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our best scores. Inspection scores account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this category typically have very few severe deficiencies. This facility was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this facility a positive score in long-term care. This nursing home received a B in this area, which turns out to be one of our higher grades. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are well cared for. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 96.73913 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
The next area we looked at was nursing, where we gave this facility an F. This was definitely one of this facility's major weaknesses. We looked at the qualifications of nurses working for the facility, in addition to the number of hours those nurses spent with residents, in calculating our score in this category. This facility provided only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This facility performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these metrics to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we scored was short-term care. It received an abysmal F for this area, which is a rock bottom score. This is obviously a significant concern. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to create a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. With a score in this range in this category, we were not stunned to learn that this nursing home was below average in several staffing areas we looked at. It supplied substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most nursing homes. The last metric we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.7 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below the national average.
