Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Inspection grades weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this area typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. This facility received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to be an immediate threat to patient health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's impressive category scores came in the area of short-term care. We awarded them one of our stronger scores in that category, with a score of B+. With our short-term care score, we seek to forge a sound gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at a nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the number of residents that were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

This nursing home is also above average in the area of long-term care, where it received a score of B+. It performed better than most facilities in this area. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it typically means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to the final category, this facility was given a very strong nursing grade. This nursing home did not end up having any real weak links. There are a number of criteria included in this grade. Many of these factors are tied to nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these metrics as predictive measures of the quality of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
