Facility Inspections
The main reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it earned an elite inspection grade. In fact, its inspection grade was far superior to its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave it a grade of A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to create an immediate risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we also wanted to point out that this facility was awarded favorable long-term care marks in this assessment. We gave them one of our more favorable scores in that category, with a grade of B+. This turned out to be the nursing home's second best grade. Nursing homes that excel in this category typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. On top of considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 99.6139 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of C. When calculating our nursing grades, we factor in both nursing hours and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures. Although this facility got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of these quality metrics. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this metric. This is typically an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of turning a resident more often.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed is short-term care. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. This is a decent grade in this category. Short-term care ratings are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. We were not able to track down information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final statistic we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
