Facility Inspections
With an overall grade this high, it should come as no surprise that this nursing home excelled in inspections, where it received an A. Inspection ratings account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this category generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
To complement its strong assessments in other areas, we awarded this facility a score of A for its short-term care score. Our short-term care scores are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 6.3 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
Building on its high-end assessment, this nursing home also was given a strong long-term care grade, with a grade of A. When nursing homes receive this type of score in long-term care it is usually a good sign for patient care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is too frequently a dangerous condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
In the last category, we gave this facility a A for its nursing rating. This finished off an elite profile. In determining a nursing home's nursing grade, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents and the level of skill of the nurses. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as employing a policy of moving patients more often.
