Facility Inspections
We also wanted to emphasize that this nursing home has received near flawless government inspections in recent years. We gave them an A+ in this area. Inspection scores weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area generally have few severe deficiencies. 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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was dominant in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of A. Not many nursing homes performed better in this area. Short-term care scores are critical for patients needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional skilled nursing. This includes a vast spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last measure we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 5.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality
Moving on to our last category, this facility was given a high-end nursing rating. Even though this wasn't as elite as many of its other category grades, this is still one of the more impressive scores we offer. There are quite a few factors within this grade. Most of the data points relate to the quantity of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
