Facility Inspections
In addition to being a first rate nursing home overall, this facility excelled in our inspections category, where it earned an A+. Very few nursing homes performed as well in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite insignificant. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given a first-rate long-term care grade. In fact, this ended up being this nursing home's second most impressive category score. In that category, this facility received a grade of A. Facilities that receive this kind of score in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure patients are kept in good health. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed is short-term care. This facility was awarded a very positive short-term care grade, with a grade of B+ in the area. In our short-term care rating, we endeavor to forge a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at a facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 4.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
In our last area, this nursing home also was awarded a very strong nursing score, with a B+. This finished off a first-rate profile. When determining our nursing scores, we factor in both staffing levels and the skill levels of the nurses. This facility provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these statistics as reliable indicators of the caliber of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
