You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports.

This tells you that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility received impressive marks in the category of long-term care as well. Consequently, we awarded it one of our most favorable scores in that area with a score of A-.

This facility vaccinated 97.32143 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility is also above average in the area of short-term care, where it was given a score of B. It outperformed most facilities in this category. Our short-term care scores are based on a facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a vast spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that 5.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to the fourth category, this nursing home was given an acceptable nursing rating. While this isn't nearly as strong as many of its other category grades, this is really not a poor grade. Our nursing score is mostly tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, our nursing scores also factor in some quality-focused metrics. We especially like to look at the percentage of patients who suffered pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these data points are decent indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these issues.
