In addition to being a first rate facility overall, this facility excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A+. Few facilities fared this well in this category. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Adding to its high-end profile, this facility also excelled in our long-term care area. In fact, we awarded it a score of A for the area. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. This facility's vaccination records were not as favorable as its nursing hours data. It administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 90.69768 percent of its residents. We would love to see some improvement in this area in the future. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, at least this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Moving on our third category, we awarded this facility a grade of A for its short-term care grade. This is a very strong rating. In calculating these short-term care ratings, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to formulate a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. This nursing home provides more services with physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is an excellent sign. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Moving on to the final category, this nursing home was awarded a very strong nursing rating. We gave it a grade of A- in that category, rounding out a straight A profile. Our nursing grade considers several data points. The most heavily weighted variable is the amount of time nurses spend with residents. This place boasts a really impressive 4.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, of which a significant portion was provided by registered nurses. This is one of the more highly trained levels of nurses. On top of offering high levels of care, this facility also excelled in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at. With below five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the country in this category.
