We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades.

Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

In determining our short-term care ratings, we assess a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This grade is considered to be a useful assessment of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final measure we considered in this area is the number of patients that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. This figure was below the national average.
