Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this ended up being a quality nursing home is it earned an A+ in our inspections category. This is just about as good as it gets in this category. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent 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
Among this facility's other accomplishments is its top-shelf long-term care score. We gave them one of our most favorable grades in that area, with a grade of A. When facilities receive this kind of score in long-term care it is usually a good sign for patient care and indicates that the facility is well-staffed with nurses and aids. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia can be a dangerous illness for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility doesn't take any chances. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. This wasn't quite on par with some of its other category grades mentioned above. In determining our nursing grades, we factor in both staffing levels and the skill levels of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a relatively low total compared to most facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's worst area was short-term care, which is the last area we analyzed. In this category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D. We would like to to point out this possible area of weakness, however, you shouldn't over-emphasize a single area either. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The final metric we considered in this area is the number of patients who eventually returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home.
