For example, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 98.310814 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. This combination proved to be effective as this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 1.34 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-plus

This nursing home also received an A+ nursing grade, making it one of the few nursing homes to receive multiple A+ category grades. In computing our nursing scores, we factor in both staffing levels and the training levels of the nurses. This particular nursing home provided 5.1 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This was one of the highest figures we found. In addition, a significant percentage of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. On top of providing impressive levels of nursing care, this nursing home also excelled in several of the quality measures we assessed. With below five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the state in this category. This is usually an indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls. Many pressure ulcers can be avoided by providing better nursing care and having a policy of turning residents at least once a day.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

This facility has received near flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better grades in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

In our final area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our short-term care grade. This finished off a very strong profile. Our short-term care grades are considered to be more meaningful for individuals in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This means not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. One reason for this place's strong score in this area is it provides more care from registered nurses than a typical facility. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
