Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
This nursing home earned a strong overall grade as discussed above, but we especially wanted to emphasize its excellent nursing grade. We awarded them a grade of A in this category. The nursing rating weighs a handful of factors, however, the paramount one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed 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 nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a policy of moving a resident at least once a day.
Short-term Care Quality
Among this facility's other achievements is its first-rate short-term care grade. We awarded them one of our most favorable grades in that category, with a grade of A-. In forming these short-term care grades, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to formulate a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 4.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections
Moving on to another of this nursing home's strengths, it also received a very impressive inspection grade. In fact, inspections turned out to be one of its best category grades. In that area, we awarded this nursing home an impressive grade of B+. Inspection ratings are based on datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this area typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This facility received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies an imminent threat to resident safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we graded is nursing, turned out to be this facility's weakest category. We awarded this nursing home a D in that area. This really is one of just a couple of dings on an otherwise impressive report card. For residents seeking a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. After we finished assessing the quantity of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinates 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
