In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 98.809525 percent of its patients, which is much higher than most nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B in this area.

This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed 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 nursing home the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by having a system of moving a patient more frequently.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we graded was short-term care. We gave this nursing home a decent score in that category, with a B-. Even though this is not as high as several of its other grades, it is nevertheless a middle of the pack score. Our short-term care ratings are believed to be more meaningful for individuals in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires additional highly-skilled nursing. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the number of patients who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.2 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
