To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area typically have few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

To complement its strong performance in other areas, we awarded this facility an B+ for our nursing rating. Nursing scores are largely based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home 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.

This nursing home is also above average in the category of short-term care, where it was given a grade of B. It outpaced most facilities in this area. Our short-term care grades are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this nursing home provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

The next category we rated is long-term care. This facility was awarded a very good long-term care grade in our assessment, with a grade of C. Even though this was not nearly as strong as several of its other category grades, this is still an acceptable grade for that area. For prospective residents looking for a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. One of the statistics we considered after nursing hours is vaccinations. It doesn't look like this nursing home provided information on its vaccination levels. Lastly, this nursing home excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
