Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this ended up being a quality nursing home is it earned an A+ in our inspections category. This is as good as it gets in this category. Inspection scores are based on datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. It does not look like we were able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Contributing to this facility's list of strengths, it also received a very favorable long-term care grade. We awarded them a dominant grade of A in this category. Facilities that excel in long-term care typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 99.45946 percent of its residents, which is very impressive. Pneumonia can be a dangerous illness for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. While this didn't quite match its scores in some of the categories discussed above, this is still a decent score. When determining a nursing home's nursing score, we consider the number of hours nurses are caring for patients and the skill levels of the nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a relatively low total compared with most facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility surprisingly fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It scored well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's least impressive area was short-term care, which is the last category we scored. In this area, we awarded this facility a D. We want to to point out this potential weak link, however, you shouldn't focus exclusively on a single weak category either. Short-term care grades are based on the nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a wide range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provided less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical facility. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the number of patients that were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.5 percent of its residents returning home. This was well below the national average.
