As a matter of fact, this is the highest graded facility in Hendersonville. This is really as good of a place as you're going to find. Headlining this facility's remarkable report card is its inspection rating, which we will address in the next section.
On top of receiving a great overall rating, this facility also earned an A+ inspection rating. This is based on its recent inspection reports. An A+ in this area is one of the highest complements we can offer a nursing home. Inspection grades are tied to pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this category typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
In addition, this facility received quality marks in the area of short-term care. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that area with a score of A+. With our short-term care category, we seek to forge a sound measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. This nursing home excelled at the highest level in the two key staffing areas we assessed. It supplied about 50% more care from physical therapists and registered nurses than a typical facility. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that it performed as well as just about any facility in North Carolina in this area with 67.6 percent of its patients returning home. For most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.

Furthermore, we found that a significant portion of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. These are both really impressive figures.

In the last category, we gave this nursing home a grade of A+ for our long-term care grade. This topped off a first-rate report card. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. In addition to really impressive nursing hour statistics, this nursing home's vaccination record was top notch as well. Indeed, this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. This combination proved to be effective as this facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.67 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
