Facility Inspections
In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this nursing home performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively insignificant. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that we were able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. We would like to have more data for this nursing home. Without having complete deficiency related data, it ended up being challenging to really grade this facility in terms of this category.
Nurse Quality
This facility received a very good nursing grade this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B+. Our nursing rating is largely associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as having a protocol of moving a patient more frequently.

Short-term Care Quality
The third best area we awarded this nursing home in any category came in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. We were not able to find information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we graded was long-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of B- in that category. In the category of long-term care, we focus more on the amount of services provided by a facility, rather than more healthcare-oriented services. Once we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. We were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated a relatively low 75 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
