Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this ended up being a quality nursing home is it received an A+ in our inspections category. This is just about as good as it gets in this critical category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some can be relatively insignificant. 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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
Another strong feature for this nursing home is that it was given a favorable short-term care score. Indeed, this proved to be its second best category grade. In this area, we awarded this nursing home a B+. With our short-term care rating, we seek to forge a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess a facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. It doesn't appear that this nursing home provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that 5.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality
The final category we assessed was nursing, where this nursing home was given a B. Even though this is its weakest category rating, this is nevertheless a favorable grade.

Lastly, we also looked at certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
