On top of being a quality nursing home overall, this facility really excelled in nursing, where it received a grade of A. There are a host of factors included in this grade. Most of the criteria are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided 4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is an impressive figure which typically leads to higher quality care. Lastly, this facility was also above average in each of the major quality measures we looked at in this category. By way of illustration, it performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a facility provides.
Facility Inspections
Turning to another one of this facility's strengths, it also received a very impressive inspection rating. Inspections turned out to be one of its best categories. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of A-. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to resident safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.

Turning to another strength for this nursing home, we awarded them one of our more favorable scores in our long-term care category as well, with a B. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are well cared for.

This nursing home also keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had just 1.58 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed was short-term care. This facility was awarded an above average short-term care score this year, with a B. This facility truly doesn't have any weak links. In our short-term care category, we seek to craft a sound measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze a nursing home's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, we found that this nursing home provided respectable levels of physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident. The final metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 37.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
