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 a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest scores in this category with an A+. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This tells you CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next most favorable category is its long-term care score, where it was given a grade of B-. For patients looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 63.94737 percent of its patients. This is pretty significantly lower than average. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
Next we wanted to quickly point out one of this facility's major weaknesses. In the area of nursing care, we gave this nursing home a lowly grade of F. There are a host of subcategories within this area. Most of these datapoints relate to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. With just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were well below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This facility fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these statistics to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the last category, this nursing home really didn't fare well. Due to a rock bottom grade of F in short-term care, this is this facility's worst category. Our short-term care grades are likely more meaningful for residents in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Based on its poor grade in this area, we weren't shocked to learn this facility provided substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last item we considered in this category is the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.5 percent of its patients returning home.
