Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home an A for our inspections rating. Inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. While this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't something to panic about.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also received an impressive short-term care grade. Indeed, we awarded it an above average score of B in this area. In forming these short-term care grades, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to create a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this nursing home provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The last metric we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 5.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the third area, this facility also received a score of B for its long-term care rating. This is a well above average grade in this category. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are well cared for. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
The final area we analyzed was nursing. This facility was given a very good nursing grade this year, with a grade of B-. Even though this isn't as good as many of its other category grades, this is nevertheless an acceptable grade in this area. Our nursing score weighs several subcategories. The most heavily weighted factor is the number of hours nurses spend with residents. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a low total compared with most facilities. Finally, our nursing scores also consider some quality-focused statistics. We especially look at the percent of patients who suffered pressure ulcers and major falls. These metrics are measures of the quality of nursing care, since superior care tends to reduce these issues.
