There are quite a few subcategories within this category. Most of the subcategories relate to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given an A+ for its long-term care score. Facilities that excel in long-term care tend to provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Short-term Care Quality
In the last category, this facility also was awarded an excellent short-term care score, with a grade of A. This rounded out a very strong report card. In our short-term care grade, we try to create a fair barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess a facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
