Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned a grade of A-. Few facilities performed better in this area. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This indicates that the inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to be an immediate threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also wanted to note that this nursing home received a great long-term care grade. In fact, it received one of our most impressive scores in this category with a score of A-. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in this category it typically means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a reliable method to minimize unnecessary deaths for the senior population. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
We gave this nursing home a grade of just D for our short-term care rating. This is not an impressive grade. In determining these short-term care scores, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our goal is to formulate a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Considering its score in this area, we were not surprised to discover that this place is well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the data we assessed. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
Nurse Quality
The last category we rated is nursing, which was this nursing home's weakest category. Sadly, it received an abysmal F in this area, which is certainly very concerning. We scrutinized the qualifications of nurses employed by the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of time those nurses worked with residents, in determining our grade in this category. This particular place averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This number is significantly below the national average. In addition to rating below average in nursing hours per resident, this facility also had poor marks in the quality-based metrics we looked at in computing our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home was at about 150 percent of the national average in both of these statistics. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are preventable with better nursing care. These statistics helped pull down this nursing home's nursing grade quite a bit.
