On the other hand, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a good score in the area of inspections as well. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively insignificant. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple relatively minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. We were pleased to find that this facility vaccinated 96.55173 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
