Facility Inspections
To pair with its relatively modest overall grade, we gave this facility an A for its inspection grade. This grade is far better than the facility's overall score. Inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this area generally have few severe deficiencies. 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 still had a generally positive view of this nursing home's inspections.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's more favorable category scores was in the category of long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in this category it is a good sign for patient care and indicates that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is very impressive. Pneumonia is often a deadly condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a facility doesn't take any chances. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the category of short-term care, this nursing home was awarded a grade of just D in this area. Short-term care grades are commonly used to measure a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation In order to offer highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to feature higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. Based on its poor rating in this category, we were not surprised to learn this facility offers significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 5.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
Nurse Quality
The next area we rated is nursing. It received an F for this category, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. This is clearly a significant disappointment. The nursing score is based on a host of factors. The most important variable is the quantity of hours nurses spent with residents. This facility averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is not a very impressive figure. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This facility performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these metrics to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
