Inspection grades are discussed in the next paragraph.

To go along with a favorable overall grade, we gave this facility a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this area usually have very few severe deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This facility also was awarded a very impressive long-term care grade. Indeed, this turned out to be this facility's second most impressive category grade. In that area, this facility received a grade of A. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care typically provide patients with more supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. On top of really impressive nursing hour statistics, this nursing home's vaccination records is first-rate as well. Indeed, it vaccinated 98.8764 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Finally, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. We found that this facility had 2.78 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Although this admittedly wasn't as favorable as most of its other scores in this area, this statistic may be skewed for some nursing homes due to the preexisting medical conditions of residents.

Adding to its impressive resume, this nursing home also excelled in our nursing category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category. The nursing score features many factors. The most important variable is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. This facility provided 5.8 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This was one of the better totals we found. Furthermore, a significant percentage of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. These are both really impressive figures. On top of looking at levels of nursing care, we also looked at a few quality measures in determining our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these statistics as good indicators of the caliber of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.

Turning to the last area, this nursing home also performed admirably in the short-term care category. In fact, we gave it an A- for that area. This finalized truly elite report card. Our short-term care scores are presumably most important for patients in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. This means not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. One of this place's strengths is registered nurse hours. This facility offers more care from registered nurses to its residents than most nursing homes. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home.
