Our nursing score is mostly tied to a nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provides an incredible 4.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Out of this total, many of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the most highly trained levels of nurses. On top of providing high levels of nursing care, this facility also excelled in the quality measures we assessed. By way of illustration, it performed as well as any nursing home in the nation in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these metrics as predictive measures of the quality of nursing care offered.

This facility has also received near flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

When facilities receive a score in this range in long-term care it typically means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis.

By way of example, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 97.413795 percent of its patients, which is what we like to see. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

In the final category, this facility also received an excellent short-term care score, with a grade of A-. This rounded out an elite report card. Short-term care grades are generally used to measure a nursing home's rehabilitation services.

When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered substantially more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
