Long-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a strong overall score, this facility also received an elite long-term care rating. We awarded it one of our better scores in that category, with an A. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are well cared for. 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 facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also excelled in inspections, where it earned an A-. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility's next most favorable area turned out to be short-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. In our short-term care category, we seek to forge a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze a facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. We weren't able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this nursing home. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Nurse Quality
The final category we scored ended up being this facility's poorest area. However, even in its worst category we still awarded it an acceptable grade of C for nursing. Nursing scores are tied to quality and quantity of nursing care. This facility provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a somewhat discouraging figure which is well below average. Lastly, although this facility got docked a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it did well in this statistic.
