Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this ended up being a quality facility is that it earned an impressive inspection score. Inspections turned out to be its best category. In that area, we awarded this facility an A. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this area usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. A deficiency-free inspection report is what we like to see.
Nurse Quality
This facility received a very good nursing grade this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B. Nursing grades are primarily tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a system of moving patients more frequently.

This facility also was given a favorable short-term care grade. Indeed, we gave it an above average score of B in this category. In our short-term care score, we attempt to create a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at a nursing home's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. We were not able to find information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last measure we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 5.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we scored was long-term care. We awarded this facility one of our better scores in this area, with a grade of B. This nursing home proved to be relatively strong across the board. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in long-term care it is a good sign for resident care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 97.8166 percent of its patients, which is significantly higher than the majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
