Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
Although we didn't grade this nursing home favorably overall, we actually gave it an excellent score in the category of inspections, where it received an A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively insignificant. 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. Despite this deficiency, this was still a relatively positive report.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home received its next highest category score in the category of long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of C in this area, which is a reasonably acceptable grade. Long-term care grades are typically used to grade a facility's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services offered by a skilled nursing facility. After assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This place keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality
The next area we looked at is short-term care, where this facility received an F. Short-term care scores are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a broad spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. As you might expect, we learned that this nursing home offers significantly less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than a typical nursing home. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
The next area we assessed was nursing. This facility was given a rock bottom grade of F in this category. When determining our nursing scores, we weigh both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This place offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is not a very impressive figure. Unfortunately, this facility also had terrible scores in some of the quality-based measures to pair with its low nursing hour totals. We looked at the percent of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and we were very disappointed. This facility was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in this statistic. This is likely a bad sign in light of the fact that many bed sores could be avoided with better nursing care. This metric helped pull down this facility's nursing score quite a bit.
