Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this ended up being a quality facility is that it received a very impressive inspection grade. Inspections turned out to be its best category grade. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some 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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a grade of A- for our long-term care grade. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 98.7013 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Our short-term care grade is often used to score a facility's rehabilitation services To offer quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer better levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other types of therapists. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
The final category we rated is nursing, where this facility received a grade of B-. While this ended up being its least impressive category rating, this is nevertheless not a terrible score. When computing a nursing home's nursing score, we look at the quantity of hours nurses are caring for residents as well as the skill levels of the nurses. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, nursing scores also consider quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses to assist its patients.
