Long-term Care Quality
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our long-term care grade. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 99.49749 percent of its residents, which is far higher than most nursing homes. 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 a remarkably low figure.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also performed well in inspections. It earned a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best grades in that area with an A-. Few facilities with an overall grade in this range performed as well in multiple categories. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors did not consider 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.

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. We looked at the qualifications of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the number of hours the nurses were with residents, in determining our score in this area. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a relatively low total compared to most facilities. Lastly, although this facility got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of our quality measures. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this metric.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we analyzed was short-term care. This facility was awarded a better than average short-term care grade in our assessment, with a grade of B-. Even though this was not as elite as some of its other category grades, this remains an acceptable rating in that category. Our short-term care ratings are meaningful for patients needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. This includes a vast range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. We weren't able to locate registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this nursing home. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 4.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well below average.
