Facility Inspections
To go along with a great overall grade, we awarded this nursing home an A for inspections. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was dominant in the category of short-term care, where it received a score of A-. Very few nursing homes received a better grade in this area. Our short-term care grades are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this facility submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The last statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 5.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics 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 Arizona 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 policy of moving a patient more often.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed was long-term care, in which this facility was awarded a grade of B. Even though this proved to be its poorest category score, this is nevertheless an impressive score. Facilities that do well in long-term care tend to provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 98.26087 percent of its residents, which is far higher than the average nursing home. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital.
