On top of being a great nursing home overall, it also earned A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were nearly flawless. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. 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.

To add to its top-shelf achievements in other areas, we awarded this facility a score of A- for our long-term care rating. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure patients are kept in good health. This nursing home fared well enough in these metrics to earn a quality grade in this category.

Turning to an additional strength for this facility, we gave them one of our stronger scores in our short-term care category as well, with a B+. In our short-term care grade, we attempt to forge a valuable measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze a nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. This place excelled at the highest level in the two key staffing areas we assessed. It offered about 50% more care from registered nurses and physical therapists than the typical facility. This is definitely an excellent sign. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

In the final category we graded, this facility received a very favorable grade of B+ in our nursing category. With this score, the nursing home rounded out a very favorable report card. When determining a nursing home's nursing rating, we assess the quantity of hours nurses are with patients as well as the level of skill of those nurses. This facility provides an incredible 5.8 hours of nursing care per resident each day. Very few nursing homes provide this quantity of nursing care to their patients. Out of that total, many of the hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the most highly highly trained levels of nurses. In addition to offering high levels of care, this nursing home also excelled in the quality-based metrics we assessed. It performed as well as any nursing home in the country in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
