Facility Inspections
In addition to faring well overall, this facility also earned a nearly flawless inspection report. Therefore, it earned one of our best grades in that category with an A+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. This facility received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
Adding to its top-shelf assessments in other areas, we gave this facility a score of A- for its short-term care grade. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we look at the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This grade is typically a meaningful assessment of a facility's rehabilitation. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
In addition, this facility also was given favorable long-term care scores this year. Indeed, we awarded them one of our higher scores in that category, with a score of B+. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 88.297874 percent of its patients, which is a few points lower than we expected. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
The final category we looked at was nursing, where this facility received a B-. Although this proved to be its weakest category grade, this is nevertheless nothing to be ashamed of. We weighed the skill-level of nurses employed by the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses were with patients, in calculating our grade in this area. This place provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this facility actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally an indicator that a place has quality controls in place.
