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 score is largely based on the facility's nurse staffing. This place provides an incredible 5.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day.

Facility Inspections
Continuing with its first-class performance, this nursing home also earned an A+ inspection rating. This grade is based on the facility's recent government inspection reports. An A+ in this category is one of the highest complements we can pay to a nursing home. Our inspection scores are based on several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This facility received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies an imminent risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we analyzed was short-term care, where this facility was given a grade of A. This wrapped up an elite profile. Not many facilities earned an A- or higher in all four categories. With our short-term care category, we try to create a valuable measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. One of this place's strengths is it offers more than an hour of care per day from registered nurses per patient. This is the gold standard for this metric, as it's approximately 1.5 times higher than the average facility's level of registered nurse staffing. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
