Facility Inspections
With an overall grade this high, it should come as no surprise that this facility excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its strong resume, this facility also received an excellent nursing score, with a grade of A-. Nursing scores are primarily associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this facility excelled in some of these areas.

This facility also was awarded an impressive long-term care score. Indeed, we awarded it an above average grade of B+ in this area. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is much higher than most nursing homes. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we assessed was short-term care, where this nursing home received a B+. This rounded out a very impressive report card. Few nursing homes earned a B+ or higher in in each area we assessed. Our short-term care ratings are presumably more important for residents in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually mandates more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
