Facility Inspections
To pair with its decent overall score, we awarded this facility an A+ for its inspection grade. This is far better than the facility's overall rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively insignificant. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a positive score in long-term care. This nursing home received a B+ in this area, which turns out to be one of our better scores. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are kept in good health. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 99.55056 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing score. We gave this facility an impressive grade of D. Nursing scores are heavily correlated with quality and quantity of nursing care. 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. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we graded was short-term care, which ended up being this facility's worst category. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this area, which is clearly a major concern. In forming our short-term care scores, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to create a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 3.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
