This category is generally a solid assessment of the nursing home's rehabilitation. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides more care with registered nurses to its residents than the average nursing home. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. It fared as well as just about any facility in District of Columbia in this area with 83.8 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, at most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term patients are able to return home.
Facility Inspections
Adding to an already impressive profile, this facility also received virtually flawless health inspections in recent years. As a result, we awarded it an A+ inspection grade. Our inspection scores are based on datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspections. Facilities that score well in this area have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report 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-. The nursing grade considers a host of subcategories. The most important factor is the amount of time nurses spend with residents. This nursing home provides 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. 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 areas as reliable measures of the caliber of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our final area, this nursing home was given an extremely favorable long-term care score. Although this wasn't nearly as elite as a few of its other scores, this is nevertheless one of the better grades a facility can receive. Facilities that receive this type of grade in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are kept in good health. After we finished assessing the amount of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 89.43662 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, at least this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.69 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
