Perhaps the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports.

Facilities that do well in this category tend to provide patients with more supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations.

Only a select few nursing homes received a B+ or higher in every category. Short-term care grades are typically employed to assess a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To provide high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have better levels of skilled nursing.
