Facility Inspections
In addition to being a first rate facility overall, this facility performed well in the area of inspections, where it earned an A+. Very few nursing homes performed this well in this category. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS did not 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.
Short-term Care Quality
Among its many dominant grades, this nursing home received a top-shelf short-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it a score of A- in that area. In forming our short-term care grades, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to create a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Unfortunately, we were not able to find information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final datapoint we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that 5.5 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality
Turning our third area, we awarded this nursing home a score of A- for its long-term care score. This is a very strong score. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. On top of considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 98.77551 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. Clearly, this nursing home 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 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to our final category, this nursing home was awarded an extremely favorable nursing rating. Even though this is not quite as impressive as many of its other category grades, this remains one of our stronger scores we offer. When calculating a facility's nursing rating, we consider the quantity of hours nurses commit to residents as well as the skill levels of those nurses. This facility provided 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
