Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this ended up being a quality nursing home is that it earned an impressive inspection rating. In fact, inspections turned out to be its best category. In this area, we awarded this facility an A. Inspection ratings are based on several datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this category tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility was given a favorable long-term care grade as well. We awarded it one of our higher scores in that category with a score of B. Facilities that excel in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. After we finished assessing the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 96.70659 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly is often a life threatening illness for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
Turning to the category of nursing care, this facility didn't perform quite as well in this area as some of the categories discussed above. Nevertheless, a grade of B- in this category is by no means a bad score. Our nursing grade analyzes quite a few factors, most of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This facility provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a somewhat alarming figure as it is well below the national average. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this nursing home performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the fourth area, this nursing home was given a grade of B- in short-term care, which is a respectable score. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. We weren't able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The last measure we considered in this category is the number of patients that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
