Facility Inspections
In addition to performing well overall, this facility also earned a nearly flawless inspection report. As a result, it received one of our best grades in that area with an A+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite minor. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's quality category scores came in the category of long-term care. We awarded them one of our more positive grades in that area, with a grade of B+. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 93.6 percent of its patients. This is a bit lower than we anticipated but still a decent figure. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality
The third category we graded is short-term care, where this facility was given a grade of B- in this category. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to devise a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. It doesn't look like this facility provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents that were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually well below average.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the last area, this facility was given a respectable nursing score. Although this wasn't quite as impressive as several of its other category grades, this is really not a major area of concern. There are a host of subcategories within this grade. Many of these data points are tied to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. It performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
