Long-term Care Quality
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ long-term care grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is much higher than most nursing homes. 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 one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Facility Inspections
This facility also received an A+ inspection grade, making it one of the rare places to receive multiple A+'s in our category grades. This grade is based on the nursing home's recent inspections. An A+ in this category is one of the biggest complements we can pay to a nursing home. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. 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.

Nurse Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. The nursing grade weighs a variety of datapoints. The most heavily weighted variable is the amount of time nurses spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the next area, this nursing home was awarded a high-end short-term care score. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- in this area, resulting in this facility receiving straight A's. Our short-term care grades are believed to be most meaningful for people in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing. This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
