In fact, we gave it an A- for that category, which is one of our best scores. Our inspection ratings account for several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area generally have very few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
Among this facility's other achievements is its top-shelf long-term care grade. We gave them one of our best scores in that area, with a score of A-. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents, which is far higher than the average nursing home.

Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. This facility didn't perform quite as well in this category as it did in some other categories. Nevertheless, this is still a respectable score. Nursing grades are largely tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This place provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a low total compared with most other facilities. Finally, nursing scores also factor in quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually a good indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses to assist its residents.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we analyzed was short-term care. This nursing home was awarded a B- for the category. Short-term care grades are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a wide range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. We weren't able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this nursing home. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
