Facility Inspections
The primary reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it earned an elite inspection score. In fact, its inspection grade was far superior to its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave it an A-. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being quite insignificant. 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 still had a generally favorable view of this nursing home's recent inspections.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's second best area turned out to be short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a C. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third highest category is long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a C. Our long-term care grade assesses a nursing home's personal care instead of the skilled nursing or healthcare services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 97.413795 percent of its patients, which is more than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
The last area we assessed was nursing, which ended up being a low point for this nursing home. We gave this facility a grade of just D in our nursing category. The nursing rating is based on quite a few factors, most of which are associated with nursing hours. This particular nursing home offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This figure is quite a bit below average. In addition to receiving below average marks for nursing hours, this facility was less impressive in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in determining our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of residents suffering pressure ulcers and found that this facility was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this metric.
