Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this turned out to be a quality facility is that it received a very impressive inspection grade. Inspections is its best category grade. In this area, we gave this facility a grade of A+. Inspection ratings are based on several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this category have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This particular nursing home received 8 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
Among this facility's other achievements is its high-end long-term care score. We awarded them one of our more impressive scores in that area, with a grade of A-. Facilities that do well in this category typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia can be a life or death condition for nursing home residents so we like it when a nursing home does not take any chances. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality
The third highest category we gave this facility in any area came in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of C. Our short-term care scores are crucial for prospective residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of skilled nursing services. This means a wide scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this facility submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last metric we assessed in this area is the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 4.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
The next category we assessed is nursing, which ended up being this facility's weakest category. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in that area. Of course, this category hurt the facility's overall grade to a certain degree. In computing our nursing grades, we assess both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. While this facility's nursing hours are below average, it actually surprised us in a few of the qualitative areas in this category. In particular, we were pleased to find that its patients are sustaining fewer pressure ulcers than the national average.
