Long-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ in the area of long-term care. When nursing homes receive this type of score in long-term care it is a good sign for patient care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 98.52941 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a great way to minimize unnecessary hospitalizations for the nursing home population. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also performed well in inspections, which is based on its government inspections. In fact, we gave it an A for that category, which is one of our top grades. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

The nursing grade includes quite a few datapoints, most of which are based on nursing hours. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to our fourth category, we gave this facility a D for short-term care. This was the facility's worst category grade. Nevertheless, we would not focus exclusively a single weak area. Our short-term care scores are believed to be most important for folks requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually mandates more skilled nursing. This means not merely nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. It looks like this facility was below average in many staffing metrics we looked at. It supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most facilities. The final item we looked at in this category is the number of patients who returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home.
