This facility provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades.

This top notch facility also fared very well in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a score of A+. Only a small group of facilities performed better in this area. When nursing homes receive this type of score in long-term care it is a good sign for patient care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids.

This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the average nursing home. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Turning our third area, this facility was awarded first-rate short-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- in that area. Our short-term care scores are likely most meaningful for folks needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This means not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last item we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Building on its impressive profile, this facility also performed a high level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of B+. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that we have deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
