Facility Inspections
On top of performing well in its overall grade, this facility performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively insignificant. While this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In that category, we gave this facility an A-. When computing a facility's nursing grade, we consider the amount of time nurses are caring for patients as well as the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given a favorable short-term care grade. Indeed, we gave it an above average grade of B+ in this category. Our short-term care grades are likely more meaningful for individuals in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final measure we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 5.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our last category, this facility was given a strong long-term care score. This nursing home did not prove to have any weak areas. Facilities that excel in long-term care typically provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 94.72222 percent of its patients, which is higher than most nursing homes. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
