Facility Inspections
Grade: A-plus
One of the reasons this place ended up being a great nursing home is it earned an A+ in our inspections category. This is just about as good as it gets in this critical category. Arguably the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Grade: A-plus
This exemplary nursing home also was superb in the area of long-term care, where it received a grade of A+. Only a small group of facilities fared better in this area. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. This is a great way to minimize unnecessary deaths for the nursing home population. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
Grade: A-minus
This nursing home also received a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A-. Our nursing score assesses the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. This facility provided 0.4 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 typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
Grade: B-plus
Switching gears to our final category, this nursing home also performed admirably in our short-term care category. In fact, we gave it a B+ for this category. This completed a very impressive profile. In our short-term care assessment, we try to forge a fair measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who returned home from the nursing home. We found that 5.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
