Facility Inspections
On top of performing well overall, this nursing home also earned a nearly flawless inspection report. As a result, it earned one of our highest scores in that category with a grade of A+. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area tend to have very few severe deficiencies. Although this place had some deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This nursing home also received an A+ nursing grade, making it one of the few nursing homes to receive multiple A+ category grades. The nursing score includes many components, however, the main one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility provides an incredible 5.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. Out of this total, many of the hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the most highly trained levels of nurses. On top of offering impressive levels of nursing care, this facility also excelled in several of the quality measures we looked at. With less than 5 percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared as well as any facility the nation in this category.

Moving on our third category, we awarded this facility a grade of A for our long-term care rating. This is a superb rating. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it generally means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. In addition to offering well above average levels of nursing care, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 98.96907 percent of its patients. This figure is also far higher than most nursing homes. This combination proved to be successful as this place keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.56 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we rated was short-term care, where this nursing home received a grade of B-. Even though this is its least impressive category grade, this is still not a major area of concern. In determining our short-term care ratings, we scrutinize the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. This area is frequently a fair assessment of the facility's rehabilitation. One of this nursing home's strength is that it offers more hours of care from registered nurses to its residents.
