Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this turned out to be a quality facility is that it earned an impressive inspection score. In fact, inspections turned out to be its best category. In this area, we gave this facility a grade of A+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively insignificant. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Adding to this facility's list of achievements, it also was awarded a fine long-term care grade. We awarded them an elite strong of A- in this category. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in long-term care it typically means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 98.013245 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

This category is often a fair measure of the facility's rehabilitation. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality
The last area we scored is nursing, which is this facility's weakest area. It received an F for this area, which is obviously a bit of a disappointment. Our nursing rating focuses on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of licensure of those nurses and the number of hours spent with patients. With only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, this place's nurse staffing levels were well below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This place performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these statistics to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.
