Facility Inspections
On top of being a quality nursing home overall, this place especially excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. While this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This tells you the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few relatively minor dings are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the category of long-term care. We awarded them one of our more favorable scores in that category, with a grade of B+. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in this category it typically means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. This is a great way to avoid negative health outcomes for the elderly population. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third most favorable area is short-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this category. This is essentially a middle of the pack grade in this area. In computing our short-term care grades, we size up a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. This grade is typically a solid assessment of a facility's rehabilitation. We were not able to find information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last metric we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that returned home from the facility. We found that just 5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
The final category we looked at was nursing. This facility was given a C in the area. Nursing grades are largely based on a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures. Although this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in some of these quality measures. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this area. This can be a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as having a protocol of moving a patient at least once a day.
