Facility Inspections
On top of being an elite facility overall, this nursing home also performed well in the area of inspections, where it received an A+. Very few nursing homes performed this well in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite insignificant. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home really excelled in the area of long-term care, where it received a score of A-. Not many facilities performed more favorably in this category. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are kept in good health. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 89.16256 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is a few points lower than we were hoping for but still a respectable figure. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. This wasn't quite as good as some of its other scores, but a grade in this range is not the end of the world. When determining a nursing home's nursing score, we weigh the number of hours nurses commit to residents and the level of skill of the nurses. This facility averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily, which is not an impressive total. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. It scored well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we rated is short-term care. In this area, we awarded this facility a solid grade of C. This actually was this facility's least impressive category. Our short-term care ratings are believed to be more important for those in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically mandates more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final item we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.
