Facility Inspections
On top of being a quality nursing home overall, this nursing home excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A. Few facilities fared better in that category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively minor. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home really excelled in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a grade of A-. Only a select group of nursing homes performed more favorably in this category. Facilities that excel in this category tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. After considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is far higher than most nursing homes. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
The third most favorable category we gave this facility in any area came in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of C. Short-term care grades are often employed to score a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation To have quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally must provide better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last item we assessed in this category is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's weakest category was nursing, which is the final category we analyzed. In this category, we awarded this facility a grade of D. The nursing rating weighs a handful of subcategories, but the paramount consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. Unfortunately, this facility also didn't fare as well as we hoped in some of the quality measures we looked at in this category.
