Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a great overall rating, this facility also earned an A+ inspection rating. This grade is based on the facility's recent government inspections. An A+ in this area is one of the best complements we can offer a nursing home. Inspection ratings are based on datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this category typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Compounding its impressive achievements in other areas, we awarded this facility a score of A for its long-term care score. Nursing homes that excel in this category typically provide patients with more supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 99.726776 percent of its patients, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia tragically can be a deadly illness for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home does not take any chances. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

The nursing rating analyzes many components, but the primary one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages 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 many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we looked at is short-term care. This nursing home was given a very good nursing rating this year, with a B. Although this wasn't as dominant as some of its other grades, this is nevertheless one of the more impressive scores for this area. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final metric we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 3.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
