Facility Inspections
In addition to faring well overall, this facility also received nearly flawless government inspections. As a result, it earned one of our highest grades in that area with an A+. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Unfortunately, we were not able to find deficiency data for this facility. We would like to have more data for this facility. Without having access to the deficiency related data, it was difficult to grade it in this category.

Among its many impressive grades, this nursing home earned an excellent nursing score. We gave it an B+ in that category. Nursing scores are primarily associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades.

The third area we graded was long-term care. This nursing home was given an impressive long-term care score, with a grade of B in the category. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in this category it is a good sign for patient care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 96.60574 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we rated proved to be this nursing home's worst area. However, even in its weakest link we still awarded it a decent grade of B- for our short-term care category. In calculating these short-term care ratings, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to create a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
