Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its excellent government inspections in recent years. We gave them an A in this category. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was awarded strong long-term care marks in this assessment. We gave them one of our more impressive scores in that category, with a grade of B. This proved to be the facility's second best score. Facilities that excel in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia tragically can be a dangerous ailment for nursing home patients so we prefer when a facility does not take any chances. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of B- in this category. Our nursing grade weighs a variety of factors. The most important one is the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents. This facility provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we were hoping for. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures. Although this place got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of these quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this statistic. This can be an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as employing a policy of moving patients more often.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we assessed is short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of C in this category. With our short-term care category, we strive to create a fair barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess a nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final measure we assessed in this category is the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 3.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
