Facility Inspections
In addition to being a strong facility overall, it also earned A+ health inspections recently. Its inspections were nearly perfect. Inspection grades account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this area typically have few severe deficiencies. This facility was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to create an immediate risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Among its many dominant scores, this nursing home was awarded first-rate long-term care score. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A in that area. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are kept in good health. One of the statistics we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths for the senior population. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
We also wanted to draw your attention to the fact that this facility was awarded a superb score of A in our short-term care category. Our short-term care grades are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 6.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
The final category we graded was nursing, where this nursing home received a B-. While this wound up being its lowest category rating, this is still nothing to be ashamed of. When computing our nursing grades, we look at both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of those nurses. This facility provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also baked a few quality-based metrics into our nursing grades. This facility was subpar in two of the major areas we look at, with below average scores for minimizing its patients' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are usually decent indicators of the quality of nursing care provided.
