Facility Inspections
In addition to being a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually flawless. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility is also above average in the area of short-term care, where it was given a grade of B+. It outperformed most facilities in this area. In our short-term care assessment, we endeavor to create a valuable measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at the nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last metric we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as employing a system of moving a patient at least once a day.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the fourth category, this nursing home also performed admirably in our long-term care category. We gave it a B+ for that area. This finalized a very strong profile. Facilities that excel in long-term care tend to provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 99.71346 percent of its patients, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly is often a life threatening health condition for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't take any chances. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
