Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it earned a very impressive grade in inspections. In fact, inspections ended up being its best category. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was awarded a very strong long-term care score. Indeed, this ended up being its second strongest category grade. In that category, we gave this facility a score of A-. Facilities that excel in long-term care tend to provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly is often a life or death ailment for nursing home residents so we prefer when a facility does not leave this to chance. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Turning our third area, this facility received a strong short-term care grade. In fact, it received a grade of A- in that area. In the category of short-term care, we strive to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this nursing home provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
The last category we looked at was nursing. In that area, we gave this facility a solid grade of C. This was this nursing home's weakest area. Our nursing grade focuses on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of skill of the nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we like to look at quality-based statistics, such as the percentage of patients who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. These metrics are decent measures of the quality of nursing care.
