Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite insignificant. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A in our nursing category. We weighed the skill-level of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the quantity of time those nurses spent with patients, in calculating our score in this category. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality
Building on its fine resume, this facility also was given an excellent short-term care score, with a score of A-. Short-term care scores are vital for people needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a vast spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we rated was long-term care. We gave this nursing home a decent grade in that category, with a grade of B-. While this isn't as strong as a few of this nursing home's other scores, it is still not a terrible score. Long-term care grades focus on a facility's personal care rather than the skilled nursing or medical services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. We were pleased to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
