Places with higher grades in this category typically have very few severe deficiencies. 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Adding to this facility's list of strengths, it also received a top-shelf long-term care score. We awarded them a strong strong of A- in this category. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure patients are well cared for. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 96.411095 percent of its patients, which is more than the vast majority of nursing homes. The last statistic we assessed is the nursing home's hospitalization rate. Although it had 2.62 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was close to the national average due to it having more complex patients.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to an additional strength for this facility, we gave them one of our higher grades in our short-term care category as well, with a grade of B. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. This grade is generally a useful assessment of the facility's rehabilitation. Fortunately, we found that this nursing home provided respectable levels of physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident.

It was above average in this area with 53.6 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
Our final category is nursing, in which we awarded this facility a C in this category. Our nursing score is based on many data points, but the most important consideration is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This place provided just 2.7 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most facilities. Although this nursing home didn't really impress in terms of the quantity of nursing care available, it surprisingly performed admirably in a few of our quality measures. It was above average in two of the areas we look at, with good scores for minimizing its patients' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are good measures of the quality of nursing care provided since many bed sores and falls can be avoided.
