Turning to our inspection category, this facility excelled in that area, which is based on the nursing home's recent government inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite insignificant. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

This facility also fared very well in the category of short-term care, where it received a score of A-. Few facilities fared better in this area. In calculating these short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to create a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last item we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Moving on to our fourth area, this nursing home was awarded a strong long-term care grade. We awarded it a grade of B+ in that area, finishing off one of our better profiles. Facilities that excel in this category typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. Once we finished looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 99.35898 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly is often a life or death ailment for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home doesn't leave this to chance. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
