Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this turned out to be a quality facility is that it earned an impressive inspection rating. Inspections turned out to be its best category. In that area, we gave it an A+. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this place had some deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Among this facility's other achievements is its top-shelf long-term care score. We awarded them one of our more favorable grades in that area, with a grade of A-. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in this category it is typically a good sign for resident care and indicates that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses and aids. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 99.15966 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly is often a life or death condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility's third best area turned out to be short-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a B-. With our short-term care assessment, we seek to forge a sound barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at the facility's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this facility submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The final item we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 5.4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.
Nurse Quality
The last category we scored was nursing, proved to be this facility's weakest area. We gave this nursing home a D in this area. This is one of the few dings of an otherwise impressive report card. The nursing grade includes quite a few subcategories, but the most important consideration is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This place offered only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is well below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
