Facility Inspections
The main reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it received an elite inspection score. In fact, its inspection score was far better than its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave this facility a grade of A-. Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area usually 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 nursing home's inspections.
Short-term Care Quality
We also gave this facility a middle of the pack score in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-. Our short-term care scores are based on a facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the average facility. The last item we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 5.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.

The nursing rating weighs quite a few datapoints, many of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This particular place averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This number is far below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these statistics to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's weakest area was long-term care, which is the final area we assessed. For this area, we gave this facility a grade of D. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. After considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
