Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this ended up being a quality nursing home is that it received an impressive inspection grade. In fact, inspections ended up being its best category. In this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of A. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was awarded a impressive short-term care score. Indeed, this ended up being this facility's second most impressive category grade. In that area, this facility received a grade of A. In crafting these short-term care ratings, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to create a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Adding to its strong resume, this facility also received an excellent nursing score, with a grade of A-. Nursing ratings are tied to quality and quantity of nursing care. This nursing home provides 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 nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our last area, this nursing home was given an acceptable long-term care grade. While this is not quite as impressive as several of its other grades, this is still not a poor grade. Our long-term care grade is used to judge a facility's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services provided by a skilled nursing facility. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 96.80851 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. This facility also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
