Facility Inspections
In addition to earning a strong overall score, this facility also earned excellent inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our best grades in that area, with an A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be relatively insignificant. This nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to patient safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was dominant in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a score of A. Few nursing homes received a better grade in this category. Short-term care ratings are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a wide range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality
Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- in that category. We looked at the qualifications of nurses employed by the facility, in addition to the number of hours the nurses were with patients, in calculating our score in this area. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the next area, this facility also performed admirably in our long-term care category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B+ in this category. This finalized a very strong profile. In a long-term care environment, the primary objective 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 patients. Once we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 90.35533 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
