Facility Inspections
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this nursing home earned near flawless government inspections in recent years. We gave them an A+ in this category. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this category most likely dodged the more 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.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility truly excelled in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a grade of A. Only a select group of facilities performed better in this area. Facilities that excel in long-term care typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. One of the statistics we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 95.952614 percent of its patients. This is a reliable method to avoid unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the nursing home population. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. While this didn't quite match its scores in some of the categories discussed above, this is still a decent score. Nursing grades are heavily correlated with quantity of nursing care available. This nursing home provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a somewhat concerning figure which is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed was nursing, proved to be this facility's worst area. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in that category. This really was one of the few weak points of an otherwise impressive report card. Our short-term care grades are crucial for prospective residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a vast range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. We found that this nursing home was below average in many staffing areas we looked at. It offered fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other facilities. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.8 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
