One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this category tend to have very few severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report 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.

Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

In our final area, this facility also was awarded an excellent short-term care score, with a grade of B+. This finished off an elite report card. Short-term care ratings are based on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a vast spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy.
