Facility Inspections
This facility's overall score was propped up by the fact that it has received favorable inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better scores in this area, with a grade of B+. This is a much better score than the facility's overall score. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively insignificant. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's better category grades came in the area of long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a B. It actually performed better than most facilities in this category. When facilities receive this type of grade in this category it is usually a good sign for resident care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. After we finished assessing the quantity of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 94.06393 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia tragically can be a life threatening health condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't take any chances. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality
The next most favorable area we gave this nursing home in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of C. In determining these short-term care grades, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our goal is to devise a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. We found that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. In fact, it provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Nurse Quality
The last area we looked at was nursing. Sadly, it received an F for this area, which is a poor score. This is obviously a major concern. Nursing ratings are largely associated with the facility's level of nurse staffing. 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 assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
