One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Our inspection scores are tied to many datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this area tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

We also awarded this nursing home a score of A+ for its long-term care grade. Facilities that receive this type of grade in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are well cared for. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 98.305084 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a great way to minimize unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the senior population. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- in that category. When computing a facility's nursing rating, we assess the amount of time nurses spend with patients and the skill levels of the nurses. This facility provided 0.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home 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 frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Moving on to the next category, this nursing home received a strong short-term care rating. Even though this is not quite as dominant as some of its other grades, this is nevertheless one of our more impressive grades a facility can receive. Our short-term care ratings are critical for patients requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of skilled nursing. This means a broad range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. We were not able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. The final statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 5.2 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.
