Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Inspection scores weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this area usually have few severe deficiencies. This nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies an immediate risk to resident health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
We also wanted to alert you to the fact that this facility was awarded a top-shelf score of A in our short-term care category. In our short-term care assessment, we strive to create a fair measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at a nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Unfortunately, it does not look like this facility submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 6.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, this facility also received favorable long-term care scores in our assessment. Indeed, we gave it one of our higher scores in that category, with a grade of B. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in long-term care it is typically a good sign for resident care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses and aids. Once we assessed the amount of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is too frequently a life threatening health condition for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
The next category we scored was nursing. In this area, we awarded this nursing home an impressive grade of B. The nursing score consists of several data points, but the main one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home 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 often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
