Awards
Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
To go along with its favorable overall score, we awarded this place an A+ for our inspections rating. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being quite insignificant. This place received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to be an immediate risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this nursing home performed well in our short-term care category. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this area. Short-term care ratings are vital for people looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. This means a wide range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last statistic we considered in this area is the number of patients who returned home from the nursing home. We found that 6.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was awarded a fine long-term care score. Indeed, this is its third best category grade. In that category, we gave this facility a score of A. For prospective patients looking for a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. It does not appear that this nursing home submitted information on its vaccination levels. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
Turning to our fourth area, this facility also excelled in the nursing category. We gave it an A- for this category. This completed truly elite profile. Our nursing score is primarily associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics 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 nursing home the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of moving a patient at least once a day.
