Long-term Care Quality
We also found that this facility excelled in our long-term care rating. We gave them a grade of A+ in this category. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in long-term care it typically means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. Lastly, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. With 1.77 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this place is just about middle of the pack in this area.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive grades, we awarded this facility an A for inspections. Our inspection grades are based on many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent government inspections. Nursing homes that excel in this category have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a grade of B+ for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. In computing a nursing home's nursing score, we consider the quantity of hours nurses are seeing patients as well as the skill levels of those nurses. This particular nursing home provided 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these areas as good indicators of the caliber of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed was short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a decent grade in that category, with a C. Although this was not as strong as many of this nursing home's other scores, it is nevertheless nothing to be ashamed of. In forming our short-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to formulate a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 23.2 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
