Facility Inspections
We also wanted to point out the fact that this nursing home has received near flawless health inspections recently. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this area. Our inspection grades account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this area typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This indicates that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
Adding to its high-end resume, this facility also performed well in our short-term care area. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for the area. In forming our short-term care grades, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to devise a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final item we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 6.3 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also performed well in the category of long-term care, where it received a grade of A-. Few nursing homes received a better grade in this category. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. After considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 99.47276 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is far higher than the average nursing home. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
The next category we rated was nursing. In that area, we gave this facility a solid grade of B-. This actually is this nursing home's worst category. We looked at the levels of nurses employed by the nursing home, as well as the quantity of hours those nurses worked with patients, in calculating our rating in this area. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures. While this place got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in some of these quality measures. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this subcategory. This is generally an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as having a protocol of turning residents at least once a day.
