We also wanted to point out that this facility earned near flawless inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A+ in this area. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This facility received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This first-rate facility also excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Nursing ratings are largely based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

We also wanted to alert you to the fact that this facility was awarded an impressive score of A in our long-term care category. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. After considering the volume of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 91.52543 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

In the final category we graded, this nursing home received a very strong grade of A- in our short-term care category. With this grade, the nursing home rounded out a straight A report card. Short-term care grades are typically used to judge a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To offer highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final measure we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to return home from the facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
