We also wanted to emphasize that this facility has received near flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A+ in this category. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Adding to its strong resume, this facility also received an excellent nursing score, with a grade of A. Our nursing grade is primarily tied to a nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provides an incredible 5.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Out of this total, many of the hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the most highly trained levels of nurses. On top of offering impressive levels of nursing care, this place also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we assessed. For example, in terms of the number of its patients suffering falls leading to serious injury, this facility performed as well as any nursing home the country. Preventing serious falls is generally an indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

The third area we looked at is short-term care. Adding to its strong profile, this nursing home also excelled in that category. In fact, it received a grade of of A for that category. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered substantially more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this nursing home. This place outperformed the overwhelming majority of nursing homes with 58.2 percent of its residents returning home. This is a significantly higher rate than most nursing homes.

Moving on to our fourth area, this nursing home was awarded a highly favorable long-term care rating. In fact, we awarded it an A in that area, resulting in this facility receiving straight A's. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. On top of really impressive nursing hour statistics, this facility's vaccination record was top notch as well. Indeed, it vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This combination proved to be effective as this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 1.28 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a substantially lower hospitalization rate than most nursing homes.
