Facility Inspections
On top of being an elite nursing home overall, this facility also performed well in our inspections category, where it earned an A+. Very few places performed as well in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. 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
Compounding its dominant achievements in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for its short-term care grade. With our short-term care grade, we strive to forge a fair barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze the facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final item we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 6.2 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, this nursing home also was awarded favorable long-term care grades this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our more favorable grades in that area, with a score of B+. Nursing homes that excel in this category typically provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a reliable method to avoid unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the aged 65 and up population. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
The fourth category we graded is nursing, where this nursing home was given a grade of B+. This topped off a very impressive report card. Very few nursing homes earned a B+ or better in every single category. In computing a facility's nursing rating, we assess the number of hours nurses are caring for patients as well as the levels of training of the nurses. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these metrics as predictive measures of the quality of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
