Facility Inspections
The primary reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it received an excellent inspection score. Its inspection score was far better than its overall score. In the inspections category, we gave this facility an A-. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite minor. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, we gave this facility a B+ in our long-term care category. This happens to be one of our more impressive scores. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. After we finished assessing the volume of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 76.27119 percent of its residents for pneumonia. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, at least this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
The third area we graded is short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a solid grade of C. In the area of short-term care, we strive to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the final area, this facility didn't perform very well. With a poor grade of F in nursing, this was its poorest area. The nursing score includes several factors, however, the paramount one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provided a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. In addition to receiving below average marks for nursing hours, this facility was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and found this nursing home was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in this statistic. This is a bad sign when you consider that many pressure ulcers are preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, this statistic pulled down this nursing home's nursing rating significantly.
