Facility Inspections
In addition to being a quality nursing home overall, this facility especially excelled in our inspections category, where it received an A. Few nursing homes fared better in this category. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This means the government inspectors didn't deem 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.
Long-term Care Quality
Among this facility's other achievements is its first-rate long-term care score. It received one of our most impressive grades in that area, with a score of A-. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 97.70992 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly is often a life or death ailment for nursing home patients so we prefer when a facility doesn't take any chances. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home was awarded an impressive short-term care score as well. We awarded it one of our better scores in that category with a score of B. In calculating these short-term care scores, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to formulate a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last measure we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

The next category we analyzed is nursing, where we awarded it an above average grade of B. This nursing home truly does not have any weak areas. When calculating a nursing home's nursing grade, we consider the amount of time nurses spend with residents as well as the level of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics 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 nursing home the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by having a protocol of moving patients more frequently.
