Facility Inspections
In addition to faring well overall, this nursing home also received a nearly flawless inspection report. Consequently, it received one of our highest grades in that area with an A+. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with better scores in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this nursing home was given a dominant score of A in our short-term care area. In the area of short-term care, we strive to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 6.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
Moving on our third category, this nursing home was awarded first-rate long-term care grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A in that area. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in long-term care it is a good sign for patient care and suggests that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses aids. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a proven method to minimize unnecessary hospitalizations for the nursing home population. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
In the last category we rated, this nursing home was given an impressive grade grade of B+ in our nursing category. With this grade, the facility rounded out a very impressive report card. We analyzed the levels of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the quantity of time the nurses spent with patients, in calculating our score in this category. This nursing home averages 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
