Facility Inspections
To pair with its favorable overall grade, we gave this nursing home an A+ for our inspections rating. Inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this category usually 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we gave this facility an A-. We assessed the qualifications of nurses working for the facility, in addition to the number of hours the nurses spent with patients, in determining our grade in this category. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by having a protocol of moving a patient more frequently.

Short-term Care Quality
Turning the page to our next category, this facility was given an excellent short-term care grade. In fact, we gave it a score of A- in this area. Our short-term care grades are vital for residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional skilled nursing services. This includes a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last metric we looked at in this area is the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that 4.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
Long-term Care Quality
In our last category, we awarded this facility an A+ for its long-term care rating. This topped off a very favorable profile. For patients in need of a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 92.85714 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which happens to be a bit below what we were hoping for but still a decent figure. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
