Facility Inspections
Turning to our inspection category, this nursing home excelled in that area, which is based on the facility's inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that category. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with better grades in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.

Short-term Care Quality
Moving on our third category, we awarded this facility a score of A- for our short-term care rating. This is a superb score. Our short-term care grades are presumably most important for people needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we rated is long-term care. We awarded this facility a decent score in that area, with a grade of B-. Although this is not as high as a few of this facility's other scores, it is nevertheless not a terrible score. With our long-term care category, we analyze the sheer volume of services provided by a nursing home, along with a series of quality data points. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated only 82.828285 percent of its residents against pneumonia. On a more positive note, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
