While this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L.

Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Among its many high-end grades, this facility was awarded a strong short-term care grade. In fact, we gave it a score of A in that category. In crafting these short-term care grades, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to create a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Adding to its impressive resume, this nursing home also excelled in our nursing category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category. When computing a facility's nursing score, we weigh the amount of time nurses are caring for residents and the levels of training of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by having a system of turning a resident more often.

The fourth category we analyzed is long-term care, where this facility was given a grade of A-. This completed a very strong report card. Not many facilities earned an A- or higher in every single category. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in long-term care it is usually a good sign for patient care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. After looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 98.21429 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is much higher than most nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
