Facility Inspections
To pair with its favorable overall score, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively minor. This nursing home was assessed 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to be an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. Nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility an A-. Our nursing grade analyzes the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. This particular nursing home provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a system of turning a patient at least once a day.

This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is more than the average nursing home. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations.
