Facility Inspections
The primary reason this facility received a decent overall grade is its excellent government inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our higher scores in that area, with an A+. This is a notably better score than the place's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to be an immediate risk 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
An additional strength of this facility is its first-rate grade in long-term care. We awarded it one of our more favorable scores in that category, with a score of A-. Facilities that excel in this category tend to provide patients with more supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents, which is significantly higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
Next we looked at nursing grades, where this nursing home received an F, which is a rock bottom grade. This area was definitely not a strength for this facility. Our nursing score focuses on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of training of those nurses and the quantity of hours spent with residents. This facility averaged 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 calculating our nursing scores. This facility performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these statistics to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at is short-term care. We gave it an abysmal F in this category, which is a rock bottom grade. This is obviously a significant concern. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. We found that this place was subpar in two of the key staffing metrics we looked at. The facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
