Nurse Quality
This nursing home received a strong overall grade as discussed above, but we especially wanted to point out its excellent nursing rating. We awarded them an A in this area. In determining our nursing ratings, we analyze both staffing levels and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This particular nursing home provided 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by having a system of moving a patient more often.
Long-term Care Quality
An additional quality feature for this nursing home is that it received a very positive long-term care grade. Indeed, this proved to be its second best category score. In this area, we gave this nursing home a B+. Facilities that excel in long-term care tend to provide residents with more supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 98.20359 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the aged 65 and up population. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations.

Facility Inspections
We also found that this facility has earned favorable government inspections in recent years. In fact, we awarded it a B- in this category. This is better than many facilities in this category. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially focus on the severity of the deficiencies. While this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we analyzed was short-term care. We gave this facility a grade of C in that area. In calculating these short-term care grades, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to formulate a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. This nursing home elevated its grade in this category by offering more care from registered nurses to its residents than the average facility. Finally, we considered the number of patients that eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 35 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually below the national average.
