In addition to being a strong facility overall, it also earned A+ government inspections recently. Its inspections were nearly flawless. Our inspection ratings account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this area tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This nursing home also received a impressive short-term care score. Indeed, this is this nursing home's second most impressive category grade. In that category, we awarded this facility a score of A. In computing our short-term care ratings, we analyze a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This category is considered to be a useful assessment of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We were not able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home.

If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. Unfortunately, it does not look like this nursing home provided information on its vaccination levels.

In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

In the last category, we gave this nursing home a A+ for its nursing score. This topped off a very strong report card. The nursing score assesses several components, but the paramount one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these metrics as good indicators of the caliber of nursing care offered, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
