Located in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, Skld Bloomfield Hills is one of only two facilities there. This nursing home received an uninspiring overall grade of D based on the data we looked at. This wasn't the worse facility we looked at, but we'd still be very reluctant to recommend it. If you aren't deterred by this facility's report card, feel free to continue reading to find out about its category grades. Nursing grades are discussed in the next section.
Even though we were not high on this facility overall, we gave it an A- for our nursing rating. This is far better than the facility's overall score. The nursing score weighs many subcategories, however, the most important one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these datapoints as reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
The second most favorable area we gave this facility in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. In calculating our short-term care grades, we scrutinize a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. This category is considered to be a reliable measure of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The final item we considered in this category is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. This place fared better than most facilities in this area with 49.2 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, at most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.

As it turns out, this nursing home only received a D for its long-term care score, which is not a very good score. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it generally means the facility didn't perform well in our measures relating to resident care. After assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated 78.38983 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is several points below what we expected. We were also disappointed with the facility's hospitalization rate. We found that this nursing home had 3.17 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is nearly double the national average.
The final category we looked at was inspections. This nursing home didn't receive favorable inspection reports in recent years. As a result, we had to give it an F in this category. For nursing homes that received this bad of an inspection grade, we recommend scrutinizing any severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This nursing home had 5 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they created a risk to resident safety or health. Lastly, we want to point out that this place received large government fines recently amounting to over $100,000. This often means that a bad track record has been an issue for more than one year.
