Facility Inspections
We want to point out that this nursing home really outperformed its overall grade in the category of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our highest scores in that area with an A. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, we also wanted to point out that this facility received favorable long-term care marks in this assessment. We awarded them one of our more favorable scores in that area, with a B+. This turned out to be the nursing home's second best grade. For long-term care residents, the primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. One of the criteria we considered after nursing hours was vaccinations. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 87.196465 percent of its residents. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
This facility also received a strong nursing grade. We gave it a F in this area. We analyzed the qualifications of nurses employed by the facility, in addition to the quantity of time the nurses spent with residents, in computing our score in this category. This particular nursing home offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This statistic is far below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This place performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these metrics to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's weakest area was short-term care, which is the last category we assessed. It received an F for this area. In spite of several respectable scores in other areas, this grade is still alarming so we wanted to make sure you are aware. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to gauge a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to offer highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must offer higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The final statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of residents that returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.7 percent of its patients returning home.
