Long-term Care Quality
On top of performing well in its overall grade, this facility earned even higher grades in the area of long-term care. It earned one of our highest scores in that category with an A. For prospective patients looking for a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. Once we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 53.932583 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, at least this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this nursing home also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned a grade of A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones 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.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. While this wasn't quite as good as some of its other category grades, this isn't a bad score either. There are a host of datapoints included in this grade. Most of the factors reflect nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics. While this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of these quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this metric. This can be an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a system of moving a resident at least once a day.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to our final category, we awarded this facility a D in short-term care. This is the facility's worst category grade. Of course, this category pulled down the nursing home's overall grade to a certain degree. Our short-term care grades are presumably most critical for residents in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically mandates more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last measure we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 5.2 percent of its residents returning home. This was well below average.
