Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Grade: A-plus

This facility also earned an A+ inspection grade, making it one of the few nursing homes to receive multiple A+'s in our categories. Inspection grades are based on items found on the a nursing home's recent inspections. Places that score well in this category tend to have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Grade: A-plus

This nursing home also received an A+ for its short-term care score. Our short-term care grades are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a vast range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents that eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 6.4 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Turning to our final area, this nursing home also excelled in the long-term care category. We gave it an A for this category. This finalized truly elite profile. When facilities receive this kind of grade in this category it is typically a good sign for patient care and indicates that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses and aids. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 99.58159 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
