When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in this category it is usually a good sign for resident care and suggests that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses aids. After looking at the significant amount of nursing hours and other staffing provided by this nursing home, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 98.657715 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is far higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this facility had 2.72 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Facility Inspections
This facility also excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we gave it a grade of A for that area. Inspection grades account for several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this area tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. While this place had some deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This facilities third most favorable category is short-term care. We gave it a B- in this area. This is basically a middle of the road score in this area. In the category of short-term care, we try to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that it was above average in this area with 51.4 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's weakest category is nursing, which is the final category we assessed. In this category, we awarded this facility a grade of just D. Our nursing rating features many factors. The most heavily weighted variable is the quantity of hours nurses spent with patients. Quantity of nursing care is not the problem here with this facility's grade. This place actually provides an above average 4.1 hours of nursing care per patient daily. Lastly, we turn to some quality-focused statistics in rounding out our nursing ratings. Specifically, we look at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these data points as good indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
