Nurse Quality
In addition to earning a strong overall grade, this nursing home also received an impressive nursing grade this year. We gave them one of our better grades in that area, with a B+. Our nursing grade analyzes a handful of datapoints, however, the most important one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. 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 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 country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as having a protocol of turning a resident at least once a day.
Short-term Care Quality
An additional strong feature for this facility is that it was awarded a favorable short-term care grade. In fact, this ended up being its second best category grade. In this area, we gave this nursing home a B. Our short-term care ratings are critical for patients seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a wide scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Turning to an additional strength for this facility, we gave them one of our stronger scores in our long-term care category as well, with a grade of B. Facilities that excel in long-term care tend to provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 99.66555 percent of its residents, which is significantly higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep 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 figure.
Facility Inspections
In the final area we looked at, we found that this nursing home received a solid government inspection report this year as well, with few major dings from government inspectors. It earned a decent grade in inspections with a grade of B-. This facility didn't have any major weaknesses. Inspection ratings are based on several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate information on deficiency's for this nursing home. We would like to have more data for this facility. Without all of the deficiency data, it was challenging to evaluate it in terms of this category.
