Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. 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.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was strong in the category of long-term care, where it received a score of A. Not many nursing homes received a better grade in this category. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia can be a life threatening ailment for nursing home residents so we like it when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
In addition, this nursing home also was awarded favorable short-term care grades in our assessment. In fact, we gave it one of our stronger grades in that category, with a score of B+. Our short-term care scores are probably more critical for those needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically requires more skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 5.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
The next category we analyzed was nursing, in which this nursing home was awarded a grade of B. Even though this is its poorest category grade, this is still a quality grade. In calculating our nursing grades, we look at both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also factored a few quality measures into our nursing grades. This nursing home was relatively weak in two of the major areas we focus on, with below average scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care provided.
