Nurse Quality
On top of being a quality nursing home overall, this facility really excelled in nursing, where it received an A-. Few nursing homes fared better in this area. There are several criteria within this category. Many of the criteria relate to nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Facility Inspections
This facility also excelled in the area of inspections. We awarded it an B+ for that category. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category usually have few severe deficiencies. While this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality
This facility's third most favorable category ended up being its long-term care grade, where it was given a B-. Our long-term care ratings are more critical for individuals requiring more conventional services related to personal care. After considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we rated is short-term care. In this category, we awarded this facility a grade of C. With our short-term care category, we endeavor to forge a valuable gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess a nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. It doesn't look like this facility provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 3.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
