Facility Inspections
This facility received a quality overall score as described above, but we especially wanted to point out its nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded it an impressive grade of A in this area. Our inspection ratings are tied to many datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this category typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. In that category, we awarded this nursing home an B. In calculating a facility's nursing rating, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients as well as the level of licensure of the nurses. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third best area is its short-term care score, where it received a grade of B-. Short-term care grades are often employed to score a facility's rehabilitation services In order to provide high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final metric we looked at in this category is the number of residents that returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
Our next area is long-term care, in which we awarded this facility a B- in that area. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
