Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received a very impressive inspection grade. Inspections ended up being its best category. In that category, we gave this nursing home an A. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this area typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This facility received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to create 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
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. In that category, we awarded this nursing home an A. The nursing rating weighs a handful of factors, most of which are tied to nursing hours. This facility provided 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 facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also received a dominant long-term care score. This actually is this facility's third strongest category score. In that category, we gave this facility a score of A-. For residents seeking a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 89.97494 percent of its patients, which is slightly less than we anticipated. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
The fourth category we analyzed is short-term care, where this nursing home was given a B+. This completed a very favorable report card. Only a select few nursing homes received a B+ or better in every category. Our short-term care scores are believed to be most important for patients needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final metric we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 4.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
