Short-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this facility also received an excellent short-term care score, with a grade of A. Our short-term care scores are probably more meaningful for people needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. One of this nursing home's strengths is registered nurse hours. We found that it offers more care from registered nurses to its residents than most facilities. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. This place fared as well as just about any facility in Massachusetts with 60.8 percent of its residents returning home. At most facilities, less than half of their short-term patients return home.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its impressive resume, this nursing home also excelled in our nursing category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category. Nursing ratings are largely based on the nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provides an impressive 3.9 hours of nursing care per resident daily. Of this total, nearly one fourth of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the most highly trained levels of nurses. Finally, this facility was also above average in each of the major quality measures we looked at in this category. By way of illustration, it performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a facility provides.

One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this area typically have few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the final area, this facility was given a respectable long-term care rating. Although this wasn't quite as impressive as several of its other category grades, this is still a middle of the pack score. Long-term care scores are based on a facility's amount of nursing services. This includes a vast spectrum of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine medical services. After considering the very respectable amount of nursing care provided by this nursing home, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which appears to be higher than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.66 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
