Long-term Care Quality
We also found that this facility excelled in our long-term care rating. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. After looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 85.49849 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be a few points below what we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home has earned near flawless inspections recently. We gave them an A in this category. Inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this category usually have few of these severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

The next category we analyzed was short-term care. Adding to its impressive resume, this nursing home also performed well in that category. In fact, it received a of A- in the area. Our short-term care grades are arguably more meaningful for folks needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
