In addition to being a strong facility overall, this facility especially excelled in our inspections category, where it received an A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Inspection scores are based on pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This facility received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to create an immediate risk to resident health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Among this facility's other strengths is its elite nursing grade. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of A-. Our nursing rating is mostly based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility 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.

The next area we looked at is short-term care. This nursing home received a very positive short-term care grade, with a B+ in the category. Short-term care grades are often used to grade a nursing home's rehabilitation services To provide highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to provide better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. We were not able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. The final item we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

The final area we scored was long-term care. This facility was awarded a better than average long-term care score this year, with a grade of B. This nursing home really does not have any weak links. When facilities receive this kind of score in long-term care it is usually a good sign for resident care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. Once we assessed the quantity of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 96.22642 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly is often a life threatening condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
