Facility Inspections
We also wanted to point out that this facility earned near flawless inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Arguably the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This nursing home was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was given a top-shelf grade of A- in our long-term care category. Facilities that excel in this category tend to provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. Once we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly is often a deadly health condition for nursing home residents so we like it when a facility does not roll the dice on this issue. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
We also wanted to point out the fact that this facility received a high-end score of A- in our short-term care area. Short-term care ratings are important for prospective residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on 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 were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 6.6 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
The next area we graded was nursing. This facility was given a better than average nursing grade in our assessment, with a grade of B-. Although this wasn't nearly as elite as a few of its other category grades, this is still an acceptable grade for this area. The nursing score consists of several components, however, the primary consideration is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a low total compared with most other nursing homes. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics. While this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of these quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared well in this subcategory. This is often a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of moving a resident at least once a day.
