Nurse Quality
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A in our nursing category. When computing our nursing scores, we look at both staffing levels and the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility South Dakota in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by having a policy of moving residents more frequently.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this nursing home also earned a nearly flawless government inspection report. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that area with an A. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this category usually have very few of these 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.

Long-term Care Quality
Turning to another strength for this facility, we awarded them one of our higher scores in our long-term care category as well, with a B+. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are well cared for. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is significantly higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed is this facility's weakest category. However, even its weakest link would likely be a highlight for most nursing homes. In fact, we gave it a favorable grade of B for short-term care. With our short-term care grade, we seek to create a meaningful measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess a nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 3.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
