Nurse Quality
On top of being a quality nursing home overall, this facility really excelled in the area of nursing, where it received an A. We weighed the licensure of nurses working for the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses spent with patients, in calculating our rating in this category. This facility provided 0.3 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 frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive profile, this nursing home also performed well in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our best grades in that area with an A-. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. 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. You really can not go wrong with a deficiency-free inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home was given its next best category score in the category of short-term care. We gave this facility a B- in this category, which is an acceptable score. Our short-term care grades are likely more meaningful for those requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we assessed in this area is the number of patients who returned home from the facility. We found that just 4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Our next area is long-term care, in which we awarded this facility a C in that area. In computing our long-term care scores, we look at the assistance with daily living offered to the facility's residents. One of the data points we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 93.30709 percent of its patients. Fortunately, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
