Facility Inspections
In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this nursing home performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this category most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Adding to this nursing home's list of strengths, it also received an excellent nursing grade. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Our nursing grade is primarily tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was awarded an impressive short-term care grade. In fact, we gave it an above average score of B in this area. Our short-term care ratings are crucial for patients requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional skilled nursing. This means a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. We were not able to find information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we assessed the number of residents that returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.3 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we graded was long-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a solid grade of B-. This ended up being this facility's least impressive category. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
