Facility Inspections
Grade: A+
In addition to being a strong nursing home overall, it also received A+ inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually flawless. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
Grade: A
This nursing home also was awarded a first-rate short-term care grade. Indeed, this ended up being its second best category score. In that category, this facility received a grade of A. Our short-term care grade is typically used to grade a facility's rehabilitation services. To provide highly rated rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 6.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality
Grade: A-minus
Adding to its impressive resume, this nursing home also excelled in our nursing category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category. When determining our nursing ratings, we look at both nursing hours and the skill levels of the nurses. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
Grade: A-minus
In the last area, this nursing home also received an excellent long-term care score, with a grade of A-. This completed a rare straight A profile. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. Once we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia tragically can be a life or death illness for nursing home residents so we prefer when a nursing home does not roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
