Facility Inspections
The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall score is its excellent health inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our higher grades in that area, with an A+. This is a much better score than the place's overall grade, which was decent but certainly not elite. Inspection grades account for several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this area tend to have very few severe deficiencies. 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. Based on this, we had positive view of this facility's recent inspections.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home was awarded its next best category grade in the area of long-term care. We gave this nursing home a C in this category, which is a respectable grade. In computing these long-term care grades, we assess the facility's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to just 85.818184 percent of its patients, which is not a very encouraging sign. Nevertheless, this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing score. In fact, we gave this nursing home an D. Nursing grades are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This facility averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the next category, this nursing home really did not perform very well. Due to a rock bottom grade of F in short-term care, this is this nursing home's weakest area. In forming these short-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to formulate a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Considering its abysmal score in this area, we weren't stunned to find that this facility provides significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The final measure we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents that were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.4 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below the national average.
