Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this turned out to be a strong nursing home is that it received a very impressive inspection score. In fact, inspections turned out to be its best category grade. In that category, we gave this facility an A. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given an impressive short-term care score. Indeed, we gave it an above average grade of B in this area. In determining our short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to formulate a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed was long-term care. This facility was given a strong long-term care score in our assessment, with a grade of B-. Although this wasn't as impressive as several of its other scores, this is nevertheless an acceptable score in that category. In the area of long-term care, we focus on the amount of services offered by a nursing home, rather than more healthcare-oriented services. One of the statistics we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. Frankly, we were a bit alarmed this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to only 62.5 percent of its patients. Nevertheless, this nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
