Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this facility had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, this nursing home also received favorable long-term care grades in our assessment. In fact, we gave it one of our more favorable grades in that category, with a score of B+. For prospective patients seeking a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 43.678158 percent of its residents. This is slightly lower than we expected but still a respectable figure. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the third category, this facility also earned a grade of B for its short-term care rating. This is an above average grade in this category. Our short-term care grades are presumably more important for those requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 4.5 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
Our last area is nursing, in which we awarded this facility a B- in that area. There are a host of factors within this category. Most of the data points relate to the quantity of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, which is a very low figure. Finally, we look at quality-based statistics, such as the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. These data points are indicators of the quality of nursing care.
