Facility Inspections
The primary reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it earned an excellent inspection score. In fact, its inspection score was far better than its overall score. In our inspections category, we gave this facility an A. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with better grades in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. It doesn't look like we were able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. We would like to have more data for this facility. Without having access to complete deficiency related data, it was difficult to fully grade this nursing home in this area.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's more impressive category grades was in the area of long-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a B. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. One of the datapoints we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 99.35275 percent of its patients. This is a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths for the elderly population. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
We awarded this nursing home just a D for our short-term care score. This is not a score to write home about. Short-term care grades are often employed to grade a nursing home's rehabilitation services In order to offer highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. With a score in this range in this category, we weren't stunned to learn this nursing home was below average in two of the key staffing areas we looked at. It offered significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. The final measure we considered in this category is the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.5 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
The last area we rated is nursing, which is this nursing home's weakest area. It received an F in this area, which is certainly a major disappointment. In calculating a facility's nursing grade, we look at the amount of time nurses are with patients as well as the level of skill of the nurses. 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 measures in calculating our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these statistics to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
