Facility Inspections
On top of earning a great overall score, this facility performed well in inspections, which is based on its inspection reports. In fact, we gave it an A for this category. 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. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was given a very strong short-term care score. Indeed, this ended up being this facility's second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a score of A. In our short-term care assessment, we strive to create a meaningful measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at the facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech 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. The final datapoint we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A- in our nursing category. The nursing rating weighs many components, but the paramount consideration is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed was this facility's poorest category. Nevertheless, even in its weakest link we still gave it an acceptable grade of C in long-term care. In calculating our long-term care ratings, we analyze the facility's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. Once we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated only 87.861275 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Nevertheless, this facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
