We want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home really outperformed its overall score in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our best scores in that category with an A. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. 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. Based on this, we still had a generally favorable view of this facility's inspections.

Additionally, we also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received favorable long-term care marks in this assessment. We gave them one of our better scores in this area, with a grade of B. This proved to be the facility's second highest score. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. Once we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 94.64789 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia can be a dangerous illness for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

In our short-term care score, we strive to create a sound barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess a nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Given its grade in this category, we were not stunned to find that this place is well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the data we assessed. Frankly, this was about what we expected here. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This was not a strength for this facility. We found that just 4.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most facilities, about half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
