Long-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this nursing home fared well in our long-term care category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is much higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Facility Inspections
This facility also excelled in inspections. We awarded it an A- for that category. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area generally have few of these severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale.

The final measure we assessed in this category is the number of patients who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
Our final category is nursing, where we awarded this facility a C in this area. We weighed the qualifications of nurses working for the nursing home, as well as the number of hours the nurses worked with residents, in calculating our score in this area. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, nursing scores also consider quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses to assist its patients.
