Facility Inspections
On top of being a strong nursing home overall, it also earned A+ inspections in recent years. Its inspections are virtually perfect. Our inspection grades are tied to many datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this area have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. 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.
Short-term Care Quality
This exemplary facility also fared very well in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of A+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Our short-term care ratings are crucial for individuals seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a vast spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who returned home from this facility. We found that 6.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Another reason we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received an A+ nursing grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. The nursing category consists of a handful of components, many of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our last area, this nursing home also performed admirably in our long-term care category. In fact, we gave it an A in that area. This completed truly elite profile. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 98.601395 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia can be a dangerous health condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility doesn't take any chances. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
