Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints.

Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Among the reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it was given a strong long-term care grade. Indeed, long-term care is its second most impressive category grade. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A. When nursing homes receive this type of score in this category it is a good sign for patient care and indicates that the facility is well-staffed with nurses and aids. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents, which is significantly higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. This facility also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.6 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. This wasn't quite on par with some of its other category grades mentioned above. We analyzed the qualifications of nurses employed by the nursing home, in addition to the number of hours the nurses worked with patients, in calculating our rating in this category. Based on the CMS data, this nursing home offers 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing ratings also factor in quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed above average in this area.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our fourth area, this nursing home really didn't perform very well. Due to a bottom of the barrel grade of F in this category, this is notably this nursing home's worst category. Short-term care scores are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we discovered that this nursing home offers fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 33.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
