Facility Inspections
In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this facility performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being quite insignificant. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. In that category, we gave this nursing home an B+. We looked at the levels of nurses at the facility, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses spent with residents, in calculating our grade in this category. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home received an impressive short-term care grade as well. We gave it one of our better grades in that area with a grade of B+. Our short-term care scores are vital for people looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a wide range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 5.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we scored was long-term care. This facility received a better than average long-term care rating in our assessment, with a B-. Even though this isn't quite as impressive as some of its other scores, this remains a decent rating in this category. Our long-term care grades are more critical for patients requiring more conventional assistance associated with personal care. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
