Long-term Care Quality
One of the many reasons this proved to be a great nursing home is that it received a very impressive long-term care rating. In this category, we awarded this facility an A. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 99.86523 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly can be a dangerous health condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a facility doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Facility Inspections
Adding to this facility's impressive resume, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being quite minor. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This means that CMS did not consider 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.

Nurse Quality
Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- in that category. When determining our nursing scores, we factor in both nursing hours and the training levels of the nurses. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we rated was short-term care, where this facility was awarded a grade of B-. This is this nursing home's worst category. This is still not a major area of concern. With our short-term care category, we seek to create a fair barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well below average.
