Short-term Care Quality
We also want to emphasize that this nursing home received an impressive grade of A for short-term care. Our short-term care scores are thought to be more important for individuals in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires additional skilled nursing services. This means not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. In that area, we awarded this facility an A-. Our nursing score includes quite a few components, but the main one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed 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 facility the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as having a policy of moving a patient at least once a day.

Long-term Care Quality
The final category we scored was long-term care, in which this nursing home was given a B. This actually turned out to be this facility's weakest category. A facility is doing something right when their weakest grade still is better than most facilities. Facilities that receive this type of grade in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are kept in good health. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 92.73743 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be somewhat lower than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
