Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility received a very good inspection report this year as well. For this reason, it received one of our better grades in that category with a grade of B. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively insignificant. This place was assessed 9 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to patient safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we analyzed is short-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of C in that area. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be more important for individuals needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. It does not appear that this nursing home provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who returned home from this facility. We found that 4.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well below the national average.
