Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this place turned out to be a quality nursing home is it earned an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. Although this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none 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
This nursing home was given quality marks in the category of short-term care. As a result, it received one of our most impressive scores in that category with a score of A+. In crafting these short-term care scores, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to devise a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. One of this nursing home's strength is that it offers more hours of care from registered nurses to its residents. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return home from this facility. It outperformed the vast majority of nursing homes with 64.4 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
In addition, this facility also received favorable nursing grades this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. The nursing score includes several components, many of which are based on nursing hours. This nursing home provides 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed better than average in this area.

Moving on to the fourth category, this facility also performed admirably in the long-term care category. In fact, we gave it a B+ for that category. This finalized a very impressive profile. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure patients are well cared for.
