Facility Inspections
To go along with its decent overall score, we gave this facility an A- for our inspections rating. This is far better than its overall score. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. 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 had positive view of this facility's recent inspections.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we gave this nursing home a B in our long-term care category. This is one of our better grades. When facilities receive this type of grade in long-term care it is a good sign for resident care and indicates that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this nursing home 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 number.

Nurse Quality
Turning to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing rating. We gave this nursing home an impressive grade of D. Our nursing grade is based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. This nursing home averaged just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This place performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed was short-term care, which turned out to be this facility's least impressive area. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in that category. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. With a score of this caliber for this area, we were not surprised to learn this nursing home was below average in several staffing metrics we looked at. The facility supplied substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most nursing homes. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
