This facility's vaccination data were not as favorable as its nursing hours. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 74.545456 percent of its residents. We would love to see some improvement in this area next year. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its impressive resume, this nursing home also excelled in our nursing category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category. Our nursing grade is based on many subcategories, many of which are associated with quantities of nurse staffing. This place provides an incredible 4.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Very few nursing homes provide this quantity of nursing care to their patients. Out of that total, many of the hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the more highly trained levels of nurses. In addition to offering impressive levels of nursing care, this nursing home 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 major falls and pressure ulcers. We look at these metrics as good measures of the quality of nursing care being provided.

In our final category, this facility also received an excellent short-term care score, with an A-. This wrapped up a very impressive profile. Short-term care grades are often employed to judge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To offer highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally must provide better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. This place is the gold standard in terms of skilled nursing staffing. It offered about 50% more registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical facility. This is what we like to find when assessing a facility in this category. The last measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
