This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics 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 facility Maryland in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as having a system of moving a patient even once per day.

This facility also fared very well in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of A. Few facilities performed better in this category. Our short-term care grade is commonly used to gauge a facility's rehabilitation services To have highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally must have better levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last measure we looked at in this category is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that 6.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we assessed was long-term care, where this facility was awarded a grade of A. This wrapped up a first-rate report card. Very few nursing homes received an A- or higher in every single category. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it generally means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. After considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is much higher than the average nursing home. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
