Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to point out that this nursing home excelled in our nursing score. We gave them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. When determining our nursing grades, we weigh both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
This exemplary nursing home also performed well in the area of short-term care, where it received a grade of A+. Only a small group of nursing homes fared better in this category. Short-term care grades are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 6.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Facility Inspections
Continuing with its amazing performance, this facility also earned an A+ inspection rating. This is based on its recent inspection reports. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively minor. It does not appear that we have deficiency data for this facility. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the next area, this nursing home was given a high-end long-term care rating. We gave it a grade of A in that category, giving this facility straight A's. Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are well cared for. One of the factors we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. This is a reliable method to minimize negative health outcomes for the aged 65 and up population. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
