Facility Inspections
We also wanted to emphasize that this nursing home earned near flawless inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Our inspection grades account for several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
We also want to note the fact that this facility was given a superb score of A in our short-term care area. Our short-term care grades are likely more meaningful for residents requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 6.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 96.89441 percent of its residents, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is too frequently a deadly ailment for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility does not leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
In the last area, this facility also was given a very strong nursing rating, with a grade of A-. This finished off a straight A profile. The nursing grade weighs a host of subcategories. The most important variable is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This nursing home averages 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these areas as predictive measures of the caliber of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
