Facility Inspections
On top of faring well overall, this nursing home also received a nearly flawless inspection report. As a result, it earned one of our highest grades in that area with an A+. Arguably the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
Adding to its dominant profile, this facility also performed well in our short-term care area. In fact, we gave it a score of A- for the category. Short-term care grades are often employed to assess a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to provide highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must provide better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who returned home from this facility. We found that 5.5 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

We also want to alert you to the fact that this facility was awarded a first-rate score of A- in our long-term care area. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 97.6431 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to the final category, this facility was awarded a decent nursing score. Even though this was not quite as dominant as many of its other scores, this is really not a major area of concern. The nursing score features many factors. The most important variable is the amount of time nurses spent with patients. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, which is well below average. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this place performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often a good indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.
