Facility Inspections
In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this facility performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This nursing home was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to create an immediate threat to resident health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
Nurse Quality
Adding to this nursing home's list of strengths, it also received an excellent nursing grade. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Nursing grades are largely associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by having a protocol of moving a patient at least once a day.

Short-term Care Quality
Turning to another strength for this nursing home, we gave them one of our stronger scores in our short-term care category as well, with a B. Short-term care ratings are based on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this facility submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last datapoint we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we scored was long-term care, in which this nursing home received a grade of B-. This actually turned out to be this nursing home's weakest area. This is nevertheless nothing to be ashamed of. Our long-term care grade is typically used to assess a facility's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services provided by a rehabilitation facility. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 99.06542 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is more than most nursing homes. This nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
