Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this facility's overall performance, it actually received an impressive inspection report this year with few dings from the applicable government inspectors. As a result, it received one of our better grades in that category with a grade of B+. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. 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. Even with this deficiency, this place still had a relatively positive report.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next highest category came in the area of long-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a B-. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We found that this nursing home vaccinated just 90.47619 percent of its residents, which is several points lower than we expected. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this facility's next best score is short-term care. Nevertheless, with a grade of D in this category, it still performed relatively badly. In crafting these short-term care ratings, we quantify 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 formulate a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last statistic we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics doomed this facility's short-term care score.
Nurse Quality
The final category we assessed is nursing, which is a weak spot for this facility. We awarded this facility a grade of D in our nursing category. Nursing grades are based largely on quantity of nursing care available. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. To go along with its below average total nursing hours per patient, this place had really bad marks in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of patients having falls which led to major injury. This facility was at more than 150 percent of the national average in this statistic.
