Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Inspection scores are based on many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this area have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was strong in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of A. Not many facilities performed better in this area. In crafting these short-term care scores, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to devise a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Unfortunately, it does not look like this nursing home submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This proved to be a real strength for this nursing home. This place outperformed the vast majority of nursing homes in the country with 73.8 percent of its patients returning home.

When determining a nursing home's nursing grade, we weigh the amount of time nurses are caring for residents as well as the level of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, 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 metrics as reliable indicators of the caliber of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
In the final category, this nursing home also was awarded an impressive long-term care rating, with a B+. This wrapped up a first-rate report card. Nursing homes that excel in this category typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 94.117645 percent of its residents, which is better than most nursing homes. The last statistic we assessed is its hospitalization rate.
