Facility Inspections
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility has received near flawless health inspections recently. We awarded them an A+ in this category. Inspection scores weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this area tend to have few severe deficiencies. 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.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was given a favorable short-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it an above average score of B+ in this category. In our short-term care score, we attempt to craft a meaningful measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze a nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final metric we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

In addition, this nursing home also received favorable long-term care grades in our assessment. In fact, we awarded them one of our more favorable scores in that area, with a score of B+. Facilities that do well in this category typically provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 99.83137 percent of its patients, which is significantly higher than the majority of 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. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
The last category we looked at was nursing. In that area, we gave this nursing home a solid grade of C. This proved to be this nursing home's weakest area. In calculating a facility's nursing rating, we consider the amount of time nurses spend with residents and the levels of training of those nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, our nursing scores also consider quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often a good indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses aids to assist its patients.
