One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ nursing grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. Nursing ratings are tied to nurse staffing levels. This nursing home provides an incredible 8.2 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Out of this total, many of the hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the most highly trained levels of nurses. In addition to offering high levels of care, this nursing home also excelled in the quality measures we assessed. It performed as well as any facility in the country when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
We also wanted to note the fact that this nursing home performed well in our short-term care category. We gave them an exemplary score of A+ in this area. Our short-term care scores are probably most critical for residents needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. One of this nursing home's strengths is that it offers more than seven hours of care per week from registered nurses per patient. This is really the gold standard in this metric, as it's roughly 50% higher than a typical place's level of registered nurse staffing. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that it performed as well as just about any facility in the nation in this area with 64.4 percent of its residents returning home. Most places are below 50 percent in this metric.
