Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this ended up being a great nursing home is it received an A+ in our inspections category. This is simply as good as it gets in this area. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down deficiency data for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
Among this facility's other achievements is its first-rate short-term care grade. We gave them one of our better grades in that category, with a grade of A-. Our short-term care scores are vital for individuals seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional highly-skilled nursing. This means a broad spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last measure we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 7.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Turning to the third area, this nursing home also received a grade of B+ for its long-term care rating. This is a well above average grade in this area. Facilities that excel in long-term care typically provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. One of the factors we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a great way to avoid negative health outcomes for the aged 65 and up population. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to our fourth area, this facility received an acceptable nursing rating. Even though this was not nearly as impressive as some of its other category grades, this is still not a poor grade. The nursing score weighs many components, but the primary one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a low total compared with most nursing homes. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it scored well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.
