Facility Inspections
To go along with its favorable overall performance, we gave this place a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Among this nursing home's other accomplishments is its high-end long-term care score. We gave them one of our better scores in that category, with a grade of A-. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it typically means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of C. This wasn't quite as good as some of its other scores, but a grade in this range is not the end of the world. The nursing score weighs a host of subcategories. The most important one is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily, which is not an impressive total. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics. Although this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in some of these quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared well in this area. This is typically an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of moving patients even once per day.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we rated is short-term care, proved to be this facility's worst category. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this area. This really was one of just a couple of weak points of an otherwise strong profile. Our short-term care grades are important for residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes a wide spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last measure we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 3.7 percent of its patients returning home.
