In addition to being a strong facility overall, it also received A+ inspections recently. Its inspections are nearly perfect. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this area typically have very few severe deficiencies. We were not able to locate deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility performed well in our long-term care rating. We awarded them an exemplary grade of A+ in this category. When facilities receive this kind of score in long-term care it is usually a good sign for resident care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 94.64285 percent of its patients. This is a proven method to minimize negative health outcomes for the nursing home population. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- in that category. Nursing scores are mostly based on a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Moving on to the fourth category, this nursing home was given a highly favorable short-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- in that area, giving this facility straight A's. Our short-term care ratings are probably more important for those requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically requires more highly-skilled nursing. This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The last statistic we assessed in this category is the number of residents who 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 facility on a permanent basis.
