Facility Inspections
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this nursing home earned near flawless inspections recently. We awarded them an A+ in this category. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this area usually have few of these severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility is also above average in the category of long-term care, where it was given a grade of B+. It outperformed most nursing homes in this area. For long-term care residents, the primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 67.391304 percent of its patients. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home is also strong in the category of short-term care, where it was given a grade of B. It performed more favorably than most facilities in this category. In calculating these short-term care ratings, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to formulate a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we assessed in this category is the number of residents that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that 5.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
Nurse Quality
The final area we rated turned out to be this nursing home's poorest area. However, even in its weakest link we still gave it a respectable grade of B- in our nursing category. There are a host of factors within this grade. Many of these criteria are tied to staffing levels. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, we look at quality-based metrics, such as the percentage of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. These data points are measures of the quality of nursing care.
