Long-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this facility also received an A+ long-term care grade. For prospective patients in need of a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. 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 facility provided the vaccine to 93.75 percent of its patients. This is a few points below what we expected but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
In addition, this facility received high marks in the area of nursing. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A+. Our nursing score is primarily associated with a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided 4.8 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, which is among the better figures in the country. A significant portion of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the most skilled levels of nurses. We are very impressed by both of these statistics. On top of providing high levels of nursing care, this nursing home also excelled in several of the quality measures we assessed. With below 5 percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared as well as any facility the country in this category. This is generally an indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Many pressure ulcers could be prevented by offering better nursing care and having a system of turning patients even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality
In the final category we analyzed, this facility was given a very favorable grade of A- in our short-term care category. With this grade, the facility finished off a straight A report card. Short-term care scores are crucial for individuals requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes a wide scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. One of this facility's strengths is that it offers more than seven hours of care per week from registered nurses per patient. This is the gold standard in this area, as it's approximately 50% higher than the typical facility's level of registered nurse staffing. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
