Long-term Care Quality
This facility received a strong overall score as described above, but we wanted to emphasize its excellent long-term care score. We gave them a grade of A in this category. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 75.710594 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is a few points below what we were hoping for but still a respectable figure. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive profile, this nursing home also performed well in the area of inspections. In fact, it earned a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our best grades in that category with an A-. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale.

Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of C. This wasn't quite as good as some of its other scores, but a grade in this range is not the end of the world. We weighed the qualifications of nurses employed by the facility, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses were with patients, in calculating our rating in this area. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility surprisingly excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's weakest category was short-term care, which is the last area we looked at. In this area, we gave this nursing home a D. Short-term care grades are generally employed to judge a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to have highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer better levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. We found that this facility was subpar in several staffing areas we looked at. It offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most nursing homes. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4.2 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
