Facility Inspections
With an overall grade this high, it should come as no surprise that this nursing home excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A. Inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this area generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. 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
Among its many dominant grades, this facility was awarded an excellent short-term care grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A in that area. Our short-term care grades are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final measure we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents that returned home from the facility. We found that 6.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was given an impressive long-term care score. Indeed, we awarded it an above average score of B in this area. For prospective residents seeking a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 84.87654 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is somewhat below what we anticipated but still a respectable figure. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the next category, this facility was given a decent nursing rating. Although this was not quite as dominant as many of its other grades, this is still not a terrible score. The nursing grade is based on quite a few data points, but the main one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, which is not an impressive total. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often a good indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.
