Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this ended up being a strong nursing home is that it received an impressive inspection rating. Inspections turned out to be its best category. In this category, we gave this facility an A-. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite insignificant. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our long-term care grade. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in this category it is usually a good sign for patient care and suggests that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses and aids. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 99.484535 percent of its patients, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly is often a deadly illness for nursing home patients so we prefer when a facility does not roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
Turning to the category of nursing care, this facility didn't perform quite as well in this area as some of the categories discussed above. Nevertheless, a grade of B- in this category is by no means a bad score. The nursing score assesses a handful of subcategories, most of which are associated with quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed was short-term care. This nursing home was given a B- for the area. Short-term care grades are generally employed to grade a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to provide highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 3.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
