Facility Inspections
The main reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it earned an excellent inspection score. In fact, its inspection grade was far superior to its overall score. In our inspections category, we gave this facility an A. Inspection ratings account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also want to note that this facility was awarded a great long-term care score. Indeed, it received one of our most favorable scores in this category with a grade of A. Nursing homes that do well in this category tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. After considering the amount of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 99.45206 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia can be a deadly health condition for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't take any chances. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
Turning to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing score. We gave this facility an impressive grade of D. When determining a facility's nursing grade, we weigh the amount of time nurses are seeing residents as well as the levels of training of the nurses. This facility averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This place fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these datapoints to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to our final category, this facility did not perform well. With an abysmal grade of F in short-term care, this is its weakest category grade. Our short-term care grades are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we learned that this nursing home provides fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. The final item we looked at in this area is the number of patients that ultimately returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 3 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below the national average.
