Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. 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
Additionally, this facility also received favorable short-term care grades in our assessment. In fact, we gave it one of our stronger grades in that category, with a score of B. Our short-term care grades are probably most critical for folks needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically mandates more highly-skilled nursing. This includes not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this facility submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. This facility didn't perform quite as well in this category as it did in some other categories. Nevertheless, this is still a respectable score. Our nursing grade features a variety of datapoints. The most heavily weighted one is the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, although this facility got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in a few of our quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this area.
Long-term Care Quality
Our next area is long-term care, where we awarded this facility a grade of B- in that category. For residents in need of a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is higher than most nursing homes. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
