We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility has received near flawless inspections recently. We gave them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively insignificant. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This nursing home also was given an A+ short-term care grade, making it one of the few nursing homes to receive several A+ category grades. Short-term care grades are based on a facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to return home from the facility. We found that 6.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Turning the page to our next area, this nursing home was given a top-shelf long-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it a score of A in that category. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. After considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. We weren't able to locate this place's vaccination data. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

In the final category we analyzed, this facility was awarded a very favorable grade of A in our nursing category. With this grade, the facility completed a straight A profile. There are numerous subcategories within this area. Most of the factors relate to the quantity of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
