Long-term Care Quality
To go along with its strong overall grade, we gave this facility an impressive grade of A for our long-term care grade. For prospective patients in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 90.04975 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is slightly below what we anticipated but still a respectable percentage. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Facility Inspections
We also wanted to emphasize this nursing home's nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A- in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This indicates that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies an immediate risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we assessed was short-term care. This facility was given a better than average short-term care score in our assessment, with a grade of B-. While this was not nearly as good as several of its other category grades, this remains an acceptable rating for this category. In our short-term care grade, we seek to craft a sound gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze a facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. We were not able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this nursing home. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
