Facility Inspections
To pair with its relatively modest overall score, we gave this nursing home an A+ for our inspections rating. This score is far better than its overall rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some are quite minor. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a middle of the pack grade in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a B-. In a long-term care environment, the primary goal 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 residents. After assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinated 98.8764 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next most favorable area was short-term care. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. This is basically a middle of the pack score in this category. In our short-term care category, we endeavor to craft a sound measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess a facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The tricky part is determining what bearing this had on the quality of care. The last statistic we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to our last area, this nursing home really didn't fare well. With a very poor grade of F in nursing, this was this facility's poorest grade. There are many criteria within this grade. Many of the data points are tied to levels of nurse staffing. With a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were well below average. Finally, we also looked at some quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home was above average in two of the areas we focus on, with solid scores for avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
