These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Contributing to its first-rate resume, this facility also performed well in our long-term care area. In fact, it received a score of A for that area.

This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the vast majority of nursing homes.

In addition, this facility also received favorable nursing grades this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. The nursing score weighs a number of factors. The most heavily weighted variable is the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed was short-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility an acceptable grade of C. This ended up being this nursing home's worst area. Our short-term care ratings are vital for prospective residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes a wide range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not look like this facility provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The final statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 3.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
