When facilities receive this kind of grade in long-term care it is typically a good sign for resident care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses and aids. Once we assessed the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia can be a deadly health condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home does not leave this to chance. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

In our last category, we gave this facility an A+ for its nursing grade. This rounded out an elite profile. Nursing grades are heavily correlated with nurse staffing levels. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
