To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. When nursing homes receive this type of score in long-term care it is usually a good sign for patient care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 98.27586 percent of its residents. This is a reliable method to minimize negative health outcomes for the senior population. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Adding to this facility's impressive resume, we gave this facility an A for inspections. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This nursing home also received a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A. We scrutinized the levels of nurses working for the facility, as well as the quantity of hours the nurses worked with patients, in determining our score in this area. This particular nursing home provided 0.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Turning to the last area, this nursing home was awarded a high-end short-term care rating. We gave it an A- in this category, rounding out a straight A profile. Our short-term care scores are presumably more meaningful for residents requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This means not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.
