Central Baptist Village is an average-sized non-profit facility in Chicago, Illinois. This facility is one of the highest-graded nursing homes we found. A grade in this range requires first-rate scores across the board. Despite Chicago offering 84 other nursing homes to select from, this facility managed to stand out as a great option. Headlining this facility's remarkable profile is its inspection score, which is addressed in the next paragraph.

Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a strong overall rating, this facility also received an A+ inspection rating. This grade is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. An A+ in this category is one of the best complements we can offer a facility. Inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this category generally have few severe deficiencies. While this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Nurse Quality
Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A in that category. Nursing grades are largely based on the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provided 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident each day. About one-fourth of these hours were provided by registered nurses, which are among the most skilled levels of nurses. This is an impressive ratio of skilled nursing care. We weight these hours performed by skilled nurses more in determining our nursing scores. 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 generally be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to an additional strength for this facility, we gave them one of our stronger scores in our short-term care category as well, with a grade of B+. In forming these short-term care ratings, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to devise a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered substantially more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients that were able to return home from the facility. We found that 38.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home rather than remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we looked at turned out to be this nursing home's poorest area. However, even its worst category would be a strength for most facilities. We gave it an above average grade of B for our long-term care category. Facilities that receive this kind of score in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure patients are kept in good health. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.77 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
