Facility Inspections
In addition to performing well overall, this nursing home earned a nearly flawless inspection report. Consequently, we gave it one of our highest scores in this category with an A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that we were able to find deficiency data for this facility. We wish we had more data for this facility. Without having access to complete deficiency related data, it is a challenge to grade this facility in this area.
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A in our nursing category. Nursing ratings are largely associated with a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the next category, this nursing home also received a score of B+ for its short-term care rating. This is a well above average score in this category. Our short-term care grades are crucial for individuals looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents that returned home from this nursing home. We found that 4.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we looked at was long-term care. We gave this facility one of our more favorable scores in that category, with a B. Even though this was not as high as many of its other grades, it is still a positive score. Facilities that excel in this category typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is far higher than the average nursing home. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
