Facility Inspections
On top of being a strong facility overall, it also received A+ inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually perfect. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also excelled in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a score of A. Few facilities received a better grade in this category. Our short-term care grades are critical for patients seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a broad scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, this nursing home also was awarded favorable long-term care scores in our assessment. Indeed, we awarded them one of our higher scores in that area, with a grade of B. Facilities that do well in long-term care typically provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 95.48955 percent of its patients, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is often a life threatening condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
The next category we graded is nursing, in which this nursing home was given a B. Believe it or not, this ended up being this nursing home's weakest category. A nursing home could be doing a lot worse when their lowest grade still is superior to most other nursing homes. Nursing grades are largely tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 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 minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
