In addition to performing well overall, this nursing home also earned nearly flawless government inspections. As a result, it earned one of our best scores in that area with an A+. Our inspection grades are tied to many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. It doesn't appear that we have information on deficiency's for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Compounding its top-shelf accomplishments in other areas, we gave this facility a grade of A for its long-term care grade. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. This nursing home is off the charts in this category.

We also want to emphasize the fact that this facility was awarded an elite grade of A in our short-term care category. Short-term care ratings are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a vast spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

The fourth category we rated is nursing, where this facility was awarded a grade of A. This topped off a very strong report card. Very few nursing homes received an A- or better in in each area we assessed. The nursing rating consists of many components, however, the most important consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these data points as good indicators of the quality of nursing care offered, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
