Facility Inspections
It should be noted that this facility's inspection rating outpaced its overall score. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for its inspections grade, which is one of our better scores. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's more favorable category grades was in the category of short-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of B. In crafting these short-term care grades, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our goal is to formulate a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Unfortunately, we were not able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, we also wanted to point out that this facility received favorable long-term care marks in this assessment. We gave them one of our more favorable scores in that area, with a B. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is much higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
The final category we rated is nursing, where this nursing home received a B. This nursing home turned out to be strong in each category we looked at. Our nursing grade assesses the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of training of the nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a system of moving patients more frequently.
