On top of being a first rate nursing home overall, this facility also excelled in the area of nursing, where it received an A+. Few nursing homes fared better in this category. We scrutinized the qualifications of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses worked with patients, in calculating our score in this area. This facility provided 0.5 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 nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
We also wanted to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home excelled in our long-term care category. We gave them an elite grade of A+ in this area. When nursing homes receive this type of score in this category it is a good sign for patient care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. After we finished assessing the quantity of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly is often a life threatening ailment for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't take any chances. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Moving on our next area, this nursing home received a strong short-term care score. In fact, it received a score of A in that category. Our short-term care scores are crucial for individuals looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a vast scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last datapoint we assessed in this category is the number of patients that returned home from the nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
Facility Inspections
Adding to this nursing home's impressive profile, we gave this facility a score of A- for our inspections rating. With this score, the facility completes its straight A report card. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some are relatively minor. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
