In addition to being a first rate nursing home overall, this facility also performed well in long-term care, where it earned an impressive grade of A+. Few facilities performed better in this category. Nursing homes that do well in this category tend to provide residents with more supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

This nursing home also received an A+ inspection grade, making it one of the few places to receive multiple A+'s in our category grades. This score is based on the place's recent inspections. Inspection grades are tied to datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this area typically have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

This facility also excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Our nursing rating weighs several datapoints. The most important variable is the number of hours nurses spend with patients. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to 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

Grade: B-plus

Turning to our last category, this nursing home also excelled in our short-term care category. In fact, we gave it a B+ for that area. This completed a first-rate profile. Our short-term care grades are likely more critical for those requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically requires additional skilled nursing. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this facility provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of residents that ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 5.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
