Facility Inspections
On top of receiving an elite overall score, this nursing home also received an A+ inspection score. This grade is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. An A+ in this area is one of the best complements we can offer a facility. Arguably the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with better scores in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality

This is a reliable method to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for the aged 65 and up population. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. This wasn't quite on par with some of its other category grades mentioned above. In calculating a nursing home's nursing grade, we assess the number of hours nurses are caring for patients and the skill levels of the nurses. This place averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day, which is a very low figure. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures. Although this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of these quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this subcategory. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by having a policy of moving a patient at least once a day.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we graded was short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a solid grade of B-. This actually was this facility's least impressive category. In crafting these short-term care ratings, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to create a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this facility provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
