Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this ended up being a great nursing home is that it received a very impressive grade in inspections. Inspections ended up being its best category. In that category, we gave this facility an A. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. It does not appear that we have information on deficiency's for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was strong in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a score of A-. Few facilities received a better grade in this area. Our short-term care ratings are based on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a broad scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home 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 last measure we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

When nursing homes receive this kind of score in this category it is typically a good sign for patient care and indicates that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses and aids. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly can be a deadly condition for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping 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.

In determining our nursing grades, we weigh both nursing hours and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home averages 0.4 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.
