Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. 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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

This category is frequently a solid assessment of the nursing home's rehabilitation services. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home.

In addition, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B in our nursing category. This is one of our better grades.

This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures 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 Massachusetts in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by having a protocol of moving patients more often.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Our last category is long-term care, where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C in that category. In our long-term care rating, we focus on the sheer quantity of services provided by a facility, along with a few quality statistics. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated 89.70588 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which happens to be significantly lower than what we expected. Nevertheless, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
