Nurse Quality
One of the many reasons this place received a great overall grade is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. In fact, this proved to be its best category. In this category, we awarded this facility an A. The nursing score weighs a variety of subcategories. The most heavily weighted factor is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of turning a resident more frequently.

Short-term Care Quality
Adding to its remarkable profile, this facility also was awarded an excellent short-term care grade, with a score of A. Our short-term care ratings are presumably more important for residents needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final statistic we considered in this area is the number of residents who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we graded is long-term care. In this area, we gave this facility an above average grade of B. When facilities receive this kind of score in this category it is typically a good sign for patient care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 95.789474 percent of its patients, which is more than the vast majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
