Long-term Care Quality
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ long-term care grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. When facilities receive this kind of grade in this category it is a good sign for patient care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 98.75 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a great way to minimize unnecessary hospitalizations for the nursing home population. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
On the list of its many impressive grades, this nursing home was given an excellent short-term care score. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- in this area. In computing these short-term care scores, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to formulate a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last measure we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 6.4 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Facility Inspections
Turning to our inspection category, this facility excelled in that area, which is based on the facility's recent government inspection reports. In fact, we gave it a score of A- for that category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. While this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
The final area we analyzed was nursing, in which this nursing home received a grade of B-. This actually turned out to be this nursing home's worst category. This is nevertheless not the end of the world. Our nursing score is largely associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we look at quality-based statistics, such as the percentage of patients who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. These data points are decent indicators of the quality of nursing care.
