Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Our inspection grades are tied to several pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
Contributing to its first-rate resume, this nursing home also was given a strong short-term care grade, with a grade of A. In crafting our short-term care scores, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our goal is to create a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final measure we looked at in this category is the number of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that 6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Facilities that excel in this category typically provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This is a reliable method to avoid unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the senior population. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

The final area we looked at is nursing. This facility received a strong nursing rating in our assessment, with a grade of B-. While this wasn't quite as elite as many of its other scores, this is nevertheless an acceptable score in this area. In computing our nursing scores, we look at both staffing levels and the skill levels of the nurses. This place averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is not an impressive total. Lastly, we also factored a few quality-based metrics into our nursing ratings. This place was subpar in two of the major metrics we focus on, with below average scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are typically decent indicators of the quality of nursing care provided.
