Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. Nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A+. Our nursing grade is based on a number of factors. The most heavily weighted factor is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This place provides a very impressive 4.2 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is among the more impressive figures in the country. Lastly, this facility also excelled in several of the quality measures we looked at. With fewer than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, this place performed as well as any nursing home the country in this category. This is often a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Many pressure ulcers can be avoided by offering better nursing care and having a protocol of moving patients more often.
Facility Inspections
Tallying yet another strong category grade, this facility also excelled in inspections, where it received an A. Inspection scores account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this area typically have few of these severe deficiencies. 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.

In determining our short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to formulate a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists.
