Nurse Quality
This nursing home earned a strong overall grade as discussed above, but we especially wanted to point out its excellent nursing grade. We awarded them an A in this category. The nursing score weighs a handful of subcategories, many of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this place 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 state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of moving a patient more often.
Facility Inspections
This facility also performed well in the area of inspections. It received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best grades in that area with an A. Few nursing homes with an overall grade in this range performed as well in multiple categories. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. We were not able to locate deficiency data for this facility. We would like to have more information about this facility. Without having access to all of the information regarding deficiencies, it ended up being a challenge to grade the place in this category.

Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the next area, this facility also received a score of B for its short-term care rating. This is an above average score in this area. Our short-term care grade is typically employed to assess a nursing home's rehabilitation services To provide highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must have higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final item we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 4.7 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed was long-term care. We gave this nursing home a solid grade in this category, with a B-. Even though this isn't as favorable as many of this nursing home's other scores, it is still not a major area of concern. Long-term care grades are typically used to grade a nursing home's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services provided by a rehabilitation facility. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. This facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
