Facility Inspections
To go along with a strong overall score, we awarded this nursing home an A+ for our inspections rating. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies an imminent threat to resident safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so well is that it was given a dominant long-term care score. In fact, long-term care turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a score of A-. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 95.87427 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is better than most nursing homes. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Turning to our next category, this nursing home also earned a score of B+ for its short-term care rating. This is a well above average grade in this category. In calculating these short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to formulate a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. It does not look like this facility submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 6.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
The final area we scored was this facility's poorest area. Nevertheless, even in its worst category we still awarded it an acceptable grade of B- for nursing. Our nursing grade weighs many factors, but the primary consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This figure is significantly below the national average. Finally, we look at quality-based statistics, such as the percentage of patients who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. These data points are decent measures of the quality of nursing care.
