On top of performing well overall, this nursing home earned a nearly flawless inspection report. As a result, it received one of our highest scores in that category with an A+. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.

This nursing home also received an A+ for its nursing grade. Our nursing grade includes a variety of subcategories. The most heavily weighted factor is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. This nursing home averages 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

This facility was given a strong long-term care grade as well. We awarded it one of our higher grades in that category with a score of B+. Facilities that do well in this category tend to provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is significantly higher than the average nursing home. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

The last area we rated is short-term care. This facility was given an above average nursing grade in our assessment, with a B. While this isn't nearly as good as a few of its other category grades, this is still one of our better scores for this area. Our short-term care grades are arguably more important for residents needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of skilled nursing. This means not only nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last measure we looked at in this category is the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
