You could definitely do worse than this facility. You also may want to review this facility's category grades below. We discuss long-term care in the next section.

This place really fared well in the category of long-term care, where it earned a grade of A. Facilities that receive this type of grade in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are kept in good health. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Lastly, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this facility had 2.43 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.

This nursing home also excelled in inspections, where it received a grade of A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this category typically avoided 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 always a good sign.

This facility earned a very good nursing rating as well. It earned one of our better grades in that area with a F. The nursing score considers a number of subcategories. The most important factor is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This particular nursing home provided 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below average. On top of its below average nursing hour totals, this facility also received poor marks in some of the quality-based metrics we considered in calculating our nursing ratings. We found that more of this place's patients experienced falls which led to major injury. We would argue that many falls could likely be prevented with better nursing care. This statistic contributed to this place receiving a poor nursing rating.

The last category we looked at was short-term care, which proved to be this facility's weakest area. It received an F in this category, which is certainly very disappointing. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Based on its poor grade in this area, we were not shocked to learn that this place offers far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 32 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
