Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this ended up being a quality nursing home is that it earned a very impressive inspection score. In fact, inspections turned out to be its best category grade. In this area, we gave it a grade of A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively minor. While this facility had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was awarded a strong short-term care grade. Indeed, we awarded it an above average grade of B+ in this area. In computing our short-term care grades, we assess the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This rating is generally a fair measure of a facility's rehabilitation. We were not able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. The final measure we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 6.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was awarded an impressive long-term care score. Indeed, we awarded it an above average score of B+ in this category. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 97.10145 percent of its patients, which is much higher than most nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the final category, we awarded this facility a D for nursing. This was the facility's least impressive category score. Naturally, this score pulled down the facility's overall grade to a certain degree. The nursing rating includes many data points, but the paramount consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This place provided only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is well below average. Unfortunately, this place also did not fare as well as we hoped in some of the quality measures we assessed for this category.
