Nurse Quality
One of the reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. Nursing proved to be its best category. In this category, we gave this nursing home an A. We analyzed the levels of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the quantity of time the nurses were with residents, in determining our score in this category. This particular nursing home provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed 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 country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by having a policy of moving residents even once per day.
Short-term Care Quality
Contributing to its strong profile, this facility also was awarded an excellent short-term care grade, with a grade of A. In the area of short-term care, we try to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home is also strong in the area of long-term care, where it was given a grade of B+. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly can be a dangerous health condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a facility doesn't leave this to chance. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Facility Inspections
Turning to our inspection category, it appears this nursing home has earned quality inspections in recent years as well. We gave it a B in this category. Inspection grades account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area tend to have few severe deficiencies. This nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent risk to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
