Facility Inspections
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home outperformed its overall score in the category of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that area with an A. Inspection grades are based on many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's more impressive category grades came in the area of long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a B+. It actually outpaced most nursing homes in this area. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in this category tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure residents are well cared for. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 96.815285 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly is often a dangerous ailment for nursing home patients so we prefer when a facility does not roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing grade. In fact, we gave this nursing home a score of D. The nursing grade analyzes quite a few factors, however, the most important consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility averaged a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is an alarmingly low total. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed was short-term care, which was this facility's least impressive category. Sadly, it received an abysmal F in this area, which is certainly a major disappointment. In the area of short-term care, we seek to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. As you might expect, we discovered that this nursing home provides substantially less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average nursing home. The last statistic we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics was damning for this nursing home's short-term care score.
