Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this ended up being a quality facility is that it earned a very impressive inspection grade. Inspections is its best category grade. In that category, we gave it an A+. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Among the reasons we rated this facility so well is that it was awarded a dominant long-term care score. Indeed, long-term care is its second best category score. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a score of A. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia tragically can be a deadly illness for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a nursing home doesn't take any chances. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility's third highest area ended up being its short-term care score, where it was given a grade of B-. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be most important for residents requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional skilled nursing. This includes not only nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this facility provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to the fourth area, this facility really did not perform well. With an abysmal grade of F in nursing, this is clearly its poorest category grade. Our nursing grade looks at the facility's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. This place provided only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is well below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This place performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these data points to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
