Awards
Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
To pair with its strong overall score, we awarded this place an A+ for inspections. Perhaps 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 scores in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
We also wanted to alert you to the fact that this nursing home performed well in our short-term care rating. We awarded them an elite score of A+ in this category. Our short-term care scores are thought to be most important for folks requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
Turning our next category, we awarded this facility a score of A for its long-term care score. This is a superb grade. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours is vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a great way to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for the senior population. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
In the last category we graded, this facility was awarded a very favorable grade of A in our nursing category. With this grade, the facility finished off a straight A profile. There are quite a few subcategories within this category. Many of the data points are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
