This facility really excelled at short-term care. In fact, we awarded it an impressive grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our highest scores. This salvaged its profile. In the category of short-term care, we try to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered substantially more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. It outperformed the vast majority of nursing homes in the nation with 71.6 percent of its residents returning home. This is a far higher rate than most facilities.
Nurse Quality
This facility also excelled in the category of nursing, where it received an B+. Few places performed better in this area. Our nursing grade assesses many subcategories, however, the paramount one is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This place offers 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident each day, of which more than an hour of those were provided by registered nurses. This is one of the most highly skilled nurses. In determining our nursing scores, we attach more weight to hours performed by registered nurses. Lastly, we also assessed certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these datapoints as predictive measures of the quality of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.

It should also be noted that this nursing home's inspection score was strong as well. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B for its government inspection reports, which is one of our better scores. Our inspection grades are based on several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this category tend to have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the final area, this facility didn't fare very well. With a bottom of the barrel grade of F in long-term care, this was this facility's worst category grade. Facilities that don't fare well in long-term care typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 80.334724 percent of its patients. This is multiple points less than average. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.05 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
