Nurse Quality
On top of being a first rate facility overall, this nursing home also excelled in nursing, where it earned a grade of A. Few nursing homes fared better in this category. Our nursing score is based on a variety of factors. The most heavily weighted one is the quantity of hours nurses spent with patients. This nursing home provides 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was strong in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a grade of A. Very few nursing homes received a better grade in this area. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are kept in good health. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is often a deadly health condition for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't take any chances. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections
Another impressive feature of this facility is its inspection grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A-. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this category generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. Although this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
In the last category we graded, this facility was given a very favorable grade of B+ in our short-term care category. With this grade, the facility wrapped up a very impressive report card. Our short-term care scores are believed to be more important for individuals needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. 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. The final item we assessed in this category is the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. It fared better than most nursing homes in this area with 49.4 percent of its patients returning home. With most facilities, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
