To go along with its strong overall score, we awarded this nursing home an A- for short-term care. In the category of short-term care, we strive to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. This nursing home boosted its score in this category by offering more than 50% more physical therapy hours to its residents than the average facility. The final statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that it fared as well as just about any nursing home in Arizona in this area with 62.8 percent of its residents returning home.

Long-term Care Quality

Among the reasons we rated this facility so well is that it was given a favorable long-term care grade. In fact, long-term care ended up being its second most impressive category grade. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a score of A-. Facilities that excel in long-term care typically provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. On top of offering very favorable levels of nurse staffing, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 99.2126 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. This combination proved to be successful as this place keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 1.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a substantially lower hospitalization rate than most nursing homes.

We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
