Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving an elite overall rating, this nursing home also received an A+ inspection score. This score is based on its recent government inspections. An A+ in this category is one of the highest complements we can offer a facility. Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this category usually have few severe deficiencies. While this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent 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 nursing home also was awarded a dominant short-term care score. In fact, this turned out to be its second most impressive category grade. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of A. Short-term care ratings are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a wide range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. It does not appear that this facility provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. This facility performed much better in the final datapoint we considered in this area, which was the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. It fared as well as just about any facility in North Carolina in this area with 62.4 percent of its residents returning home. At most nursing homes, fewer than half of their short-stay patients ever return home.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also received a impressive long-term care grade. This actually turned out to be its third strongest category grade. In that category, we gave this facility a score of A-. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are well cared for. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. We weren't able to locate this place's vaccination data. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

In our final area, we gave this nursing home a A+ for our nursing score. This finished off an elite report card. There are many data points included in this grade. Many of the criteria reflect nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day.

Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
