Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is it earned an A+ inspection grade. This is as good as it gets in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite insignificant. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to be an imminent risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was elite in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of A-. Few facilities performed better in this category. In computing these short-term care grades, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to devise a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final statistic we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that 6.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
The third area we analyzed was long-term care. This facility was given a favorable long-term care grade, with a grade of B+ in this area. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. After we finished looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 97.7918 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia can be a life threatening illness for nursing home residents so we like it when a nursing home does not leave this to chance. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
The final category we looked at was nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a solid grade of B-. This actually ended up being this facility's worst area. There are numerous data points included in this area. Most of these criteria reflect levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. It performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
