Facility Inspections
In addition to faring well in its overall grade, this facility earned an excellent inspection report. Consequently, we gave it one of our best grades in this category with an A. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
Contributing to its impressive resume, this nursing home also performed well in our short-term care category. In fact, we awarded it a score of A in the category. Short-term care grades are typically used to grade a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must have better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 6.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

We awarded it a strong grade of B for long-term care. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are well cared for. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 71.86441 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is a few points lower than we expected but still a decent figure.
