Places that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
An additional reason we graded this facility so favorably is that it was given an A+ long-term care grade. This is simply as elite as it gets in this category. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are kept in good health. After considering the quantity of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia can be a life or death ailment for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Lastly, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. We found that this place had 2.37 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.

This nursing home also received an A+ for its nursing grade. Our nursing grade features many subcategories. The most heavily weighted factor is the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients. This nursing home offers high levels of nursing care, averaging 4 hours per patient on a daily basis. This is more nursing care than most nursing homes provide. Finally, this place also excelled in the quality-based metrics we assessed. It performed as well as any facility the state in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

The fourth area we looked at is short-term care, where this facility was given a grade of B+. This finished off a first-rate report card. Very few nursing homes earned a B+ or better in in each area we assessed. Our short-term care ratings are vital for prospective residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional skilled nursing services. This means a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that it performed respectably in this area with 45.7 percent of its patients returning home.
