Facility Inspections
We want to point out that this nursing home really outperformed its overall grade in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our highest scores in that category with an A+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's more impressive category scores was in the category of short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a B. Our short-term care scores are meaningful for patients requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. We weren't able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final metric we assessed in this category is the number of patients that returned home from the nursing home. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality
This facility's next highest category turned out to be its long-term care grade, where it was given a B-. Our long-term care ratings are based on a facility's amount of nursing services. This means a vast spectrum of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 93.87755 percent of its patients. This is slightly less than we expected but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. On a more positive note, 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 figure.
Nurse Quality
The next category we graded was nursing, which is this nursing home's worst category. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this area, which is certainly a major disappointment. In calculating a nursing home's nursing rating, we consider the amount of time nurses are seeing patients as well as the levels of training of those nurses. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this place also didn't perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This nursing home had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average facility.
