Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this ended up being a great nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is just about as good as it gets in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively insignificant. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Nurse Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. Our nursing rating is mostly tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality
We also would like to note the fact that this nursing home received a high-end grade of A in our short-term care category. In the area of short-term care, we strive to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we assessed was long-term care. This nursing home was given a better than average long-term care grade in our assessment, with a B-. Even though this is not as impressive as some of its other grades, this is nevertheless a respectable grade in that area. In a long-term care setting, the primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to only 83.87097 percent of its residents, which is somewhat concerning. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
