Another reason we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received an A+ nursing grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. Our nursing rating considers numerous datapoints. The most important variable is the number of hours nurses spend with residents. This particular facility provided 4.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This was one of the higher totals we found. In addition, we found that a significant portion of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. On top of providing high levels of nursing care, this nursing home also excelled in the quality measures we assessed. For example, it performed as well as any facility in the country when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We look at these statistics as predictive indicators of the caliber of nursing care provided.
Facility Inspections
The next category we looked at was inspections, where this facility also received an A+ grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Our inspection grades weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this category tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Even though this was not nearly as strong as a few of its other category grades, this is still one of the more favorable scores a facility can receive. In computing our short-term care grades, we size up a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other licensed professionals. This category is considered to be a useful assessment of the facility's rehabilitation services. This nursing home elevated its grade in this area by offering more care from registered nurses than the average nursing home. The last measure we assessed in this area is the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the facility.
