Facility Inspections
On top of performing well in its overall grade, this facility performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A+. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Among the reasons we rated this facility so favorably is that it was given a very impressive long-term care score. In fact, long-term care turned out to be its second most impressive category grade. In that category, we gave this facility a score of A. Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are well cared for. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly is often a dangerous condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a facility doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality
The next most favorable area we awarded this facility in any area came in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-. In the category of short-term care, we strive to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The last measure we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
The last category we rated was nursing. We gave this facility a D for our nursing category, rendering this the nursing home's worst category grade. The nursing rating is based on a handful of subcategories, but the most important consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. With just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, this place's nurse staffing levels were well below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
