Long-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ in the area of long-term care. Facilities that do well in this category tend to provide patients with more supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 99.618324 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly can be a deadly illness for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a facility does not leave its residents vulnerable. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also earned a nearly flawless inspection report. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that area with a score of A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite minor. This facility was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality
Another strong feature for this facility is that it received an impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B. In computing a facility's nursing rating, we weigh the number of hours nurses are seeing patients as well as the levels of training of the nurses. This nursing home provides 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 place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we graded turned out to be this facility's weakest area. Nevertheless, even in its worst category we still gave it a respectable grade of B- for our short-term care category. With our short-term care score, we try to forge a sound measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess a facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
