Facility Inspections
The main reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it earned an excellent inspection score. Its inspection grade was far better than its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave it an A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite minor. This nursing home was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's higher category scores came in the area of long-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B+. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. One of the statistics we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 90.49296 percent of its patients. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing grade. In fact, we gave this facility a grade of D. There are a number of subcategories within this grade. Many of the subcategories are tied to the quantity of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This facility fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we assessed is short-term care, turned out to be this facility's least impressive category. We gave this facility a D in that area. This was one of just a few weak links in a very solid report card. In the category of short-term care, we try to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. In this nursing home's case, it looks like it offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the typical facility. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
