Short-term Care Quality
We wanted to point out that this nursing home' short-term care score outpaced its overall score. We awarded it a B+ for short-term care, which is one of our better scores. This helped its overall score. In calculating these short-term care scores, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to create a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. Nursing proved to be its second best category grade. In that area, we gave this facility an B. Nursing grades are based largely on quantity of nursing care available. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections
Turning to our inspection category, we gave this facility just a D, which was not one of this facility's better grades. Our inspection score is based on the facility's government inspection reports. Our inspection grades weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This particular nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they created a risk to patient safety or health. Finally, we also want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home received significant government fines recently of over $100,000. This usually means that a nursing home's bad performance spanned multiple years.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the final area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D for long-term care. This is the facility's least impressive category grade. For prospective patients in need of a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. We were optimistic to find that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
