We also wanted to point out the fact that this facility earned near flawless government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.

To complement its strong performance in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Nursing grades are mostly associated with a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

This facility also excelled in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of A. Few facilities fared better in this category. Our short-term care grades are probably more critical for individuals in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. This includes not only nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last measure we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 5.2 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

The next area we scored was long-term care, in which this nursing home was awarded a C. This was this nursing home's least impressive area. This is still a middle of the pack score. For residents looking for a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. We were concerned by the fact that this facility vaccinated just 75.5814 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Nevertheless, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
