Facility Inspections
We want to point out that this facility really outperformed its overall grade in the area of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our best scores in this category with a grade of A+. Inspection scores account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this category usually have few of these severe deficiencies. This facility was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to create an imminent risk to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's higher category grades came in the category of long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a B. It actually performed better than most facilities in this category. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents out of the hospital. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility's third most favorable category ended up being its short-term care score, where it received a B-. Our short-term care ratings are meaningful for residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional skilled nursing services. This means a wide scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this nursing home provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Nurse Quality
The next area we rated is nursing, ended up being this facility's worst area. We gave this nursing home a D in this category. This is one of the few weak links on an otherwise strong profile. Nursing ratings are based largely on quantity of nursing care available. This nursing home provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is an alarmingly low total. On top of its subpar nursing hours, this nursing home also received poor marks in many of the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We found that a higher percentage of this place's residents sustained falls leading to major injury.
