Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means CMS did not 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.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility received strong grades in the area of long-term care as well. Indeed, we gave it one of our strongest scores in that area with a area of A-. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is much higher than most nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
Additionally, this facility also was awarded favorable short-term care grades in our assessment. In fact, we gave them one of our more favorable scores in that area, with a grade of B. In forming these short-term care ratings, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to create a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final statistic we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
The final area we scored is nursing. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this area, which is an abysmal grade. We would not simply disregard a facility as a result of a single concerning category though. Our nursing grade assesses the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of licensure of those nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. Unfortunately, this facility also didn't perform as well as we hoped in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed for this category.
