Facility Inspections
With an overall grade this high, it should come as no surprise that this facility excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. 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
Another quality feature for this nursing home is that it was given an above average long-term care grade. In fact, this proved to be its second best category score. In this category, we awarded this facility a grade of B+. 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. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 99.723755 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia can be a deadly condition for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility received an impressive short-term care grade as well. We awarded it one of our higher grades in that category with a score of B+. Short-term care grades are vital for residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes a wide range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to return home from the facility. We found that 4.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
Nurse Quality
The last area we graded is nursing. We gave this nursing home one of our better scores in this category, with a B. While this was not on par with some of its other scores, it is still an excellent score. Our nursing score looks at the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of skill of the nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these statistics as predictive indicators of the caliber of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
