Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

On the list of its many high-end scores, this facility was given a strong long-term care score. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- in this area.

Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

The last area we scored is short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a solid grade of B-. This actually proved to be this nursing home's weakest area.

This means a broad scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy.

The last datapoint we considered in this area is the number of patients that were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 4.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
