Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a strong overall score as described above, but we especially want to emphasize its excellent government inspections in recent years. We gave them an A+ in this area. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS 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.
Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, this nursing home also received favorable long-term care scores this year. Indeed, we awarded them one of our higher scores in that area, with a grade of B+. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are kept in good health. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 65 percent of its patients. This is somewhat below what we anticipated. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, at least this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next most favorable category was short-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. Our short-term care ratings are crucial for residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates more skilled nursing services. This includes a wide scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. It does not look like this facility provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of residents that were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually well below average.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to the next category, this facility was awarded a grade of C for nursing, which we consider to be an acceptable grade. Our nursing grade weighs several components, but the most important one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This place provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a relatively low total compared with most nursing homes. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics. Although this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of these quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it did well in this statistic. This is typically a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of turning a patient at least once a day.
