Facility Inspections
We want to point out that this facility outperformed its overall score in the category of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our highest grades in this area with a grade of A+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite minor. While this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Another strength of this nursing home is its strong score in long-term care. We gave them one of our most impressive scores in that category, with a grade of A-. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 84.61539 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be a bit less than we anticipated but still a decent figure. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home only received a grade of D for its short-term care score, which is not one of our better scores. Short-term care ratings are crucial for patients looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires more skilled nursing services. This includes a broad range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. In this nursing home's case, it looks like it offers less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the typical facility. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.8 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
The last area we graded was nursing, which proved to be this facility's worst area. We gave it an F in this area, which is clearly concerning. When determining our nursing ratings, we assess both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. In addition to receiving below average scores for nursing hours, this facility was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of residents experiencing pressure ulcers and found this nursing home was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this metric.
