Facility Inspections
To go along with its relatively modest overall grade, we gave this facility an A+ for its inspection grade. This grade is far better than its overall grade. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home received 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered severe. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, we also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home received favorable long-term care marks this year. We awarded them one of our more impressive scores in this area, with a grade of B. This proved to be the nursing home's second best grade. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are kept in good health. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 94.244606 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C, which is a decent grade. Our nursing grade weighs a handful of factors, many of which are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, which is a very low figure. Lastly, nursing ratings also factor in quality-based assessments, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses aids to assist its residents.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to our last area, we gave this nursing home a grade of D in short-term care. This is the facility's worst category rating. Of course, this score pulled down the facility's overall profile to some degree. In the area of short-term care, we try to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we looked at. The last measure we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics was damning for this nursing home's short-term care grade.
