Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving an elite overall rating, this facility also received an A+ inspection rating. This is based on its recent inspection reports. An A+ in this category is one of the best complements we can offer a nursing home. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. We weren't able to track down 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
An additional reason we rated this nursing home so highly is that it was awarded an A+ short-term care grade. This is just about as dominant as it gets in this category. Our short-term care grades are thought to be more important for patients in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional skilled nursing. This includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes.

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.
Long-term Care Quality
In the final category, this nursing home also was awarded a first-rate long-term care rating, with an A. This wrapped up an elusive straight A profile. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. Unfortunately, we were not able to find this place's vaccination data. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
