We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A- in our nursing category. When calculating a facility's nursing rating, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses are with residents and the level of skill of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as having a system of turning residents even once per day.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In the last area, we gave this facility a grade of A for its long-term care grade. This finished off an elite profile. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are kept in good health. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is significantly higher than most nursing homes. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
