Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it earned an impressive inspection rating. In fact, inspections turned out to be its best category. In this category, we gave this facility an A. Inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this category usually have very few severe deficiencies. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. A deficiency-free inspection report is what we like to see.
Short-term Care Quality
Contributing to this nursing home's list of achievements, it also received a first-rate short-term care score. We awarded them a dominant grade of A- in this category. Our short-term care ratings are arguably most important for individuals needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of patients that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 6.5 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as having a protocol of moving a resident more often.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed was long-term care, where this nursing home received a B. This nursing home didn't end up having any weak categories. For patients seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important.

This nursing home vaccinated 85.71429 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be somewhat less than we expected but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
