We awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our long-term care score. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents out of the hospital. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
Turning to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing grade. In fact, we gave this nursing home an impressive grade of D. Our nursing grade analyzes the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of skill of those nurses and the quantity of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This place performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the final area, we awarded this nursing home a D in our short-term care category. This was the nursing home's worst category rating. Of course, this score hurt the facility's overall profile a bit. Our short-term care grade is generally employed to assess a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To offer highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. Unfortunately, we discovered that this place offered less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The last item we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics doomed this nursing home's short-term care grade.
