Nurse Quality
In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this nursing home received even higher grades in the area of nursing. In fact, it received one of our best grades in this category with an A. There are numerous factors included in this area. Many of the criteria relate to staffing levels. This particular nursing home provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics 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 nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as employing a policy of turning residents at least once a day.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive grades, we awarded this facility an B+ for our inspections rating. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this area typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.

Our short-term care scores are presumably more important for patients requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally mandates more highly-skilled nursing. This means not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists.

Our long-term care scores are based in part on the facility's volume of nursing services. This means a broad scope of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine medical services. After assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 99.044586 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is more than the vast majority of nursing homes.
