This top-shelf nursing home also excelled in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a score of A+. Few nursing homes fared better in this area.

We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes.

For residents looking for a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate this facility's vaccination rates. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Our nursing grade analyzes the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of skill of the nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages 0.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
