Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ in our inspections category. This is just about as good as it gets in this critical category. Inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this category usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This exemplary facility also performed remarkably in the category of long-term care, where it received a score of A+. Very few nursing homes fared better in this category. Nursing homes that do well in this category typically provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. After we finished assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 94.9807 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia is often a deadly condition for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a facility does not roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed is short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a B-. In our short-term care rating, we seek to create a sound measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze the facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. It doesn't appear that this facility provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we considered the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below average.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the last area, this nursing home was given a decent nursing score. Even though this isn't nearly as good as many of its other grades, this is truly not a bad grade. Nursing ratings are tied to quality and quantity of nursing care. This nursing home averages just 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, our nursing ratings also factor in some quality-focused measures. We especially like to look at the percentage of patients who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. These data points are decent measures of the quality of nursing care, since better care can reduce these problems.
