Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

We also awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. Our nursing grade includes a variety of factors. The most important factor is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. This nursing home provided 6.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is among the better figures in the country. A significant portion of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the more skilled levels of nurses. We were really impressed by these statistics. On top of providing high levels of nursing care, this place also excelled in several of the quality measures we assessed. With below five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the nation in this category.

Switching gears to our last area, this facility also performed well in our long-term care category. In fact, we gave it an A in that area. This rounded out truly elite report card. When facilities receive this type of grade in long-term care it is typically a good sign for resident care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. One of the statistics we considered on top of this facility's quality nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths for seniors. This combination proved to be successful as this nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.93 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
