Short-term Care Quality
We also want to emphasize the fact that this nursing home earned an impressive grade of A for short-term care. Our short-term care scores are arguably most critical for residents requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates more skilled nursing. This means not just nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 6.3 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
Contributing to its fine profile, this facility also was awarded a superb long-term care score, with a score of A. For patients seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 92.92036 percent of its residents, which is slightly less than we were hoping for. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Perhaps the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with better grades 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.
Nurse Quality
In the final area, this facility also received a first-rate nursing grade, with a grade of B+. This topped off a first-rate profile. Our nursing grade features numerous data points. The most heavily weighted one is the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
