Long-term Care Quality
We awarded this nursing home an A- for our long-term care grade. This is more impressive than the facility's overall score. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 93.75 percent of its patients. This is a bit lower than we expected but still a respectable percentage. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
We also wanted to emphasize this place's nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of B+ in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some are relatively minor. 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.

Short-term Care Quality
The third area we analyzed was short-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a solid grade of C. Short-term care ratings are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a wide spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical facility. The final item we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents that returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
The last area we assessed is nursing, which is this facility's least impressive area. It received an abysmal F in this category, which is certainly concerning. Our nursing rating includes several subcategories, many of which are associated with nursing hours. This place averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This statistic is well below the national average. In addition to ranking below average in nursing hours per resident, this place also had poor marks in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of patients sustaining major falls and pressure ulcers. This place was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in both of these data points. This is a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. These metrics pulled down this facility's nursing grade quite a bit.
