One of the reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an impressive grade in inspections. Inspections turned out to be its best category. In this category, we gave this facility a grade of A. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Contributing to its strong profile, this nursing home also received a superb short-term care grade, with a score of A. Our short-term care scores are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a vast range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. We were not able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that 6.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

This facility received a very good nursing grade this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B+. The nursing score assesses a handful of factors, but the primary consideration is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

The final category we assessed was long-term care, where this nursing home received a B+. This completed a very strong report card. Not many facilities earned a B+ or better in every single category. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are kept in good health. After assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. Unfortunately, we were not able to find information about this nursing home's vaccination rates. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
