We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility excelled in our nursing rating. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. When computing a nursing home's nursing rating, we weigh the number of hours nurses are seeing residents as well as the level of skill of the nurses. This nursing home averages 0.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

This facility has also received near flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Our inspection ratings are based on several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's inspections. Facilities that score well in this category have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This place received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Moving on our next area, this nursing home was given an excellent short-term care grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- in that category. With our short-term care score, we endeavor to create a sound barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at the facility's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final measure we considered in this area is the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

The last area we graded was long-term care, in which this nursing home received a grade of C. This ended up being this facility's worst category. This is still not a major area of concern. In our long-term care rating, we focus on the sheer volume of care offered by a facility, along with a few qualitative data points. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 98.94737 percent of its patients. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
