Nurse Quality
This nursing home received a strong overall grade as discussed above, but we especially wanted to point out its excellent nursing grade. We awarded them a grade of A- in this category. Our nursing grade assesses the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of training of the nurses and the amount of time spent with residents. This facility provided 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Facility Inspections
This facility also performed well in inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. It received one of our highest grades in that area with an B+. Few facilities with an overall score in this range performed this well in multiple categories. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this place had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.

This score is more often than not a meaningful assessment of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The final item we looked at in this category is the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 5.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

The last area we graded is long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of C in that area. In computing our long-term care grades, we analyze the personal care offered to the nursing home's residents. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated 68.36158 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is significantly lower than what we were hoping for. Nevertheless, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
