On top of faring well overall, this facility also earned nearly flawless government inspections. Consequently, it earned one of our best grades in that area with an A+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite insignificant. While this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This nursing home also was awarded a dominant short-term care score. In fact, this turned out to be this facility's second strongest category score. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of A. In our short-term care grade, we endeavor to create a sound measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at a nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. It does not appear that this nursing home provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The final measure we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that 6.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. When calculating our nursing ratings, we factor in both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home averages 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

In the final category we rated, this facility was awarded a very strong grade of B+ in our long-term care category. With this grade, the nursing home finished off a first-rate report card. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care scores. One of the statistics we considered after nursing hours was vaccinations. Unfortunately, it does not look like this facility provided data regarding vaccinations. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
