In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this facility also received an A+ long-term care grade. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 99.4382 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents out of the hospital. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A- in our nursing category. When calculating our nursing grades, we analyze both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of the nurses. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures 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 state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as having a system of moving residents at least once a day.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed was short-term care, which was a low point for this facility. We gave this facility a grade of D in our short-term care category, making this its weakest grade. We'd nevertheless recommend that you consider all of a facility's category grades. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Unfortunately, we discovered that this facility offered less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other facilities. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who eventually returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 2.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
