Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are kept in good health. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours is vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. This is a proven method to minimize unnecessary hospitalizations for the aged 65 and up population. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

This nursing home also received a very impressive nursing grade. In fact, this turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A. Nursing scores are primarily associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Facility Inspections
Moving on to another of this nursing home's strengths, it also received a very impressive inspection score. This proved to be one of its best grades. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of B+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are relatively minor. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
In the last category we looked at, this nursing home received a very favorable grade of B+ in our short-term care category. With this grade, the nursing home wrapped up an elite report card. Short-term care grades are critical for prospective residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires more skilled nursing. This includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final item we considered in this area is the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
