Nurse Quality
One of the reasons this place received a great overall grade is that it received a very impressive nursing score. Nursing actually ended up being its best category. In that category, we gave this facility an A-. Our nursing score is based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of licensure of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this facility 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 country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of moving a patient more frequently.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this nursing home also excelled in inspections, where it earned a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are quite insignificant. This nursing home received 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This indicates that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent risk to resident safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also received an impressive long-term care score. In fact, we gave it an above average grade of B in this category. Facilities that do well in this category tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly can be a dangerous health condition for nursing home residents so we like it when a facility does not roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the final category, this nursing home was awarded a B- in short-term care, which is an acceptable rating. Our short-term care ratings are presumably most critical for individuals requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. This means not only nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. The final item we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.
