To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. Short-term care grades are generally employed to gauge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to provide higher levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. Remarkably, this nursing home provides about 50% more services from physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is a very favorable sign. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that it outperformed the vast majority of nursing homes in the nation in this area with 64 percent of its residents returning home. This is a significantly higher rate than most facilities.

This nursing home also received an A+ inspection score, making it one of the rare facilities to receive multiple A+'s in our categories. This is based on the facility's government inspections. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are quite minor. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

An additional strength for this facility was long-term care, where it received an A+ rating. This is simply as strong as it gets in this category. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. We weren't able to track down information on vaccination rates. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Moving on to the fourth area, this nursing home received an excellent nursing grade. We gave it a grade of A in this area, giving this facility straight A's. When determining a facility's nursing score, we assess the quantity of hours nurses commit to residents and the level of skill of the nurses. This facility provides an incredible 7.5 hours of nursing care per patient each day. Out of this total, many of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the most highly highly trained levels of nurses. On top of offering impressive levels of care, this place also excelled in the quality-based metrics we looked at. By way of illustration, it performed as well as any nursing home in the state in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these data points as predictive indicators of the caliber of nursing care being provided.
