Facility Inspections
To pair with a favorable overall grade, we awarded this facility an A+ for our inspection category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. 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
This nursing home also received an A+ for its long-term care score. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in long-term care it is usually a good sign for patient care and suggests that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses aids. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is very impressive. Pneumonia is too frequently a deadly condition for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a nursing home does not roll the dice on this issue. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Turning our third category, this top-shelf nursing home also performed remarkably in the area of short-term care. In this area, it received a grade of A+. Very few nursing homes fared better in this category. Short-term care scores are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients that returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by having a protocol of moving a patient even once per day.
