Facility Inspections
To go along with its favorable overall grade, we awarded this place an A+ for our inspections rating. Our inspection grades account for several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. Unfortunately, we were not able to find deficiency data for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this nursing home performed remarkably in our long-term care category. We gave them an elite score of A+ in this category. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are well cared for. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia tragically can be a deadly ailment for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility does not take any chances. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality
Turning the page to our third area, we gave this nursing home a score of A for its short-term care grade. This is a very impressive score. In our short-term care assessment, we attempt to create a fair barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze a facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this nursing home submitted registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the last area, this nursing home received a highly favorable nursing score. We gave it a grade of B+ in that area, completing one of our better profiles. Our nursing rating includes many subcategories. The most heavily weighted variable is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a system of turning a patient more often.
