In addition to being a strong facility overall, this facility also excelled in the category of short-term care, where it received an A+. Our short-term care grades are crucial for people requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a wide spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last item we considered in this area is the percentage of patients that returned home from the facility. We found that 7.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

This facility also received an A+ inspection grade, making it one of the few facilities to receive multiple A+'s in our categories. This grade is based on the nursing home's recent inspection reports. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. 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.

Another reason we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received an A+ nursing grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. Our nursing grade assesses a handful of factors, but the main one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided 0.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

In the last category, we awarded this facility an A+ for its long-term care grade. This rounded out a very strong report card. Nursing homes that do well in this category typically provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
