Short-term Care Quality
On top of faring well overall, this nursing home received even higher grades for short-term care. It earned one of our highest scores in that category with A-. In determining these short-term care grades, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to devise a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. We were not able to track down information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's above average category scores came in the area of long-term care. We awarded them one of our more favorable grades in that category, with a grade of B. Facilities that do well in long-term care typically provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly is often a deadly health condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections
This facility also earned favorable inspections in recent years. In fact, we gave them one of our better grades in that area, with a B. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Nurse Quality
The last category we scored was nursing, where we awarded it a strong grade of B. This facility truly does not have any weaknesses. The nursing score includes a handful of data points, however, the main one is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This particular nursing home 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 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 often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
