Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home also earned an A+ inspection grade. This is based on its recent government inspections. An A+ in this category is one of the best complements we can pay to a facility. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. We weren't able to track down deficiency data for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Adding to its elite performance in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for its long-term care grade. For long-term care residents, the primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. On the whole this looks like a good option in terms of its long-term care rating.

The fourth area we graded is short-term care, where this nursing home was awarded a grade of B+. This topped off a very favorable report card. Only a select few nursing homes received a B+ or higher in each of our categories. Our short-term care grade is often employed to grade a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to have quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally must feature better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals.
