Facility Inspections
In addition to earning a strong overall score, this facility performed even better in our inspections category which is based on the nursing home's recent government inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A+ for that area, which is one of our highest scores. Our inspection scores weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this category tend to have very few severe deficiencies. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them 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 nursing home was given a strong long-term care grade as well. We gave it one of our better grades in that category with a grade of B+. When nursing homes receive this type of score in this category it is usually a good sign for patient care and suggests that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses aids. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours was vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. This is a reliable method to avoid unnecessary deaths for the senior population. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
The third area we analyzed was short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a decent grade of B-. Our short-term care ratings are arguably more critical for patients requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
Our final category is nursing, where we gave this facility a grade of C in this area. Our nursing rating is based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a somewhat concerning figure as it is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it scored well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care provided.
