To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. We analyzed the licensure of nurses working for the facility, as well as the quantity of time those nurses were with residents, in determining our grade in this area. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as employing a policy of turning a patient even once per day.

Places with better scores in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death.

When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital.
