Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ in our inspections category. This is simply as good as it gets in this area. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
An additional reason we assessed this facility so highly is that it was given an A+ short-term care grade. This is flat out as strong as it gets in this category. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be most critical for residents requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This means not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that 6.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

This facility 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 typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed is long-term care, in which this facility was awarded a B-. This actually ended up being this nursing home's weakest category. This is still a middle of the pack score. Long-term care grades are used to judge a nursing home's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services provided by a rehabilitation facility. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 98.611115 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
