This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. The last statistic we assessed was its hospitalization rate.

Facility Inspections
This facility also received a nearly flawless inspection report. As a result, it earned one of our highest scores in that area with an A+. This is one of the few places to receive multiple A+'s. Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. While this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
We also would like to note the fact that this facility was given a superb score of A- in our short-term care category. In the category of short-term care, we seek to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. This nursing home provides a decent amount of services from physical therapists and registered nurses based on our assessment. The last statistic we assessed in this category is the number of residents that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that it performed better than most facilities in this area with 54.9 percent of its patients returning home. With most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.
Nurse Quality
In our final area, this nursing home also was awarded a very strong nursing score, with a grade of B+. This wrapped up an elite profile. Our nursing rating assesses the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of training of the nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home provides an impressive 4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. Finally, this facility also excelled in the quality measures we assessed. It performed as well as any nursing home the country in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
