Long-term Care Quality
We also found that this nursing home excelled in our long-term care rating. We awarded them a grade of A+ in this area. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure residents are kept in good health. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is far higher than the majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
Turning to another one of this facility's strengths, it also earned a very impressive inspection grade. In fact, inspections turned out to be one of its best category grades. We awarded this nursing home an A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite minor. This particular nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality
Turning to the category of nursing care, this facility didn't perform quite as well in this area as some of the categories discussed above. Nevertheless, a grade of B- in this category is by no means a bad score. We assessed the licensure of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the number of hours those nurses were with patients, in calculating our score in this category. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. It scored well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we graded was this nursing home's poorest category. Nevertheless, even in its worst category we still gave it an acceptable grade of C in short-term care. Our short-term care ratings are meaningful for patients requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a wide range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last metric we looked at in this category is the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
