Nurse Quality
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility excelled in our nursing rating. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. The nursing category weighs a handful of factors, most of which are based on nursing hours. This facility provided 10 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This was one of the highest figures we found. In addition, we found that a significant portion of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. These are both really impressive figures. In addition to offering impressive levels of care, this place also excelled in the quality-based metrics we looked at. For example, it performed as well as any nursing home in the state when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these metrics as reliable indicators of the caliber of nursing care being provided.

This facility also received an A+ for its long-term care score. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. On top of providing very impressive levels of nursing care and other staffing, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 97.36842 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

One of this nursing home's strengths is registered nurse hours. This facility provides more care from registered nurses to its patients than most nursing homes. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Facility Inspections
Finally, we wanted to draw your attention to this facility's nearly flawless government inspections. We awarded them a B+ in this category. Our inspection grades are tied to many data points located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this area typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
