Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this ended up being a strong nursing home is that it earned a very impressive inspection rating. Inspections turned out to be its best category grade. In this area, we awarded this facility an A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively insignificant. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
Adding to this facility's list of strengths, it also received a fine short-term care grade. We gave them a dominant strong of A- in this area. Short-term care grades are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a broad range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. We were optimistic to find that this facility vaccinated 97.22222 percent of its patients against pneumonia. This facility also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
The last area we rated is nursing. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. Our nursing score assesses the facility's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of licensure of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this nursing home performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place.
