Facility Inspections
We also wanted to emphasize that this nursing home earned near flawless government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite insignificant. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this facility a grade of A- for our long-term care grade. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in this category it is typically a good sign for patient care and indicates that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 99.15966 percent of its residents. This is a reliable method to avoid unnecessary deaths for the aged 65 and up population. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a grade of B+ for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. Our nursing grade includes a host of subcategories. The most important one is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the fourth category, we awarded this facility a D for our short-term care category. This is the facility's weakest category grade. However, we wouldn't focus exclusively one bad score. In crafting these short-term care scores, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to formulate a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. It appears that this facility was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the staffing figures we considered. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
