Short-term Care Quality
We also found that this facility excelled in our short-term care rating. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. In the category of short-term care, we strive to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents that were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 6.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
Facility Inspections
Turning to another one of this nursing home's strengths, it also earned a very impressive inspection score. Inspections turned out to be one of its best categories. In that area, we gave this facility an A-. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few relatively minor dings are not necessarily something to panic about.

Nurse Quality
Among this facility's other strengths is its elite nursing grade. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of A-. The nursing rating includes a host of datapoints. The most heavily weighted factor is the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we graded was nursing, was this facility's worst area. We awarded this facility a grade of D in that category. This is one of just a few weak links on an otherwise impressive report card. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it generally means the nursing home did not perform well in our quality measures relating to patient care. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. Unfortunately, this nursing home vaccinated just 90.34749 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
