In addition to being a first rate facility overall, this facility performed well in our inspections category, where it received an A+. Very few nursing homes fared as well in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies.

In doing so, we analyze a facility's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. This facility is the gold standard in terms of skilled nursing staffing. In fact, it supplied about 50% more registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical facility. This is what we like to find when grading a facility in this category. The final metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who returned home from the facility.
