Facility Inspections
The main reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it earned an elite inspection score. Its inspection grade was far better than its overall score. In the inspections category, we gave this facility an A. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also want to point out that this facility was awarded a strong long-term care grade. In fact, it received one of our best grades in that area with a grade of A-. Facilities that excel in long-term care typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the average nursing home. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of C in this category. In determining our nursing scores, we factor in both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This figure is far below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. It scored well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we rated was short-term care, proved to be this facility's weakest area. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this category. This really is one of just a couple of weak links of an otherwise impressive profile. In determining our short-term care ratings, we size up a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This rating is typically a fair assessment of a nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last measure we considered in this category is the percentage of residents that returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below the national average.
