Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a strong overall grade, this facility earned an A+ inspection rating. This score is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. An A+ in this category is one of the highest complements we can offer a nursing home. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite insignificant. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Nurse Quality
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 grade is largely tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by having a system of moving patients at least once a day.

In doing so, we assess a nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this nursing home submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of patients that returned home from this facility. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we looked at was long-term care, where this facility received a grade of B. Although this is its worst category score, this is nevertheless an above average rating.

After assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 93.00699 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is a bit lower than we expected but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
