Facility Inspections
On top of being an elite nursing home overall, this facility performed well in our inspections category, where it received an A+. Very few places fared as well in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. This facility was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to be an immediate risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
This top notch facility also performed well in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of A+. Very few facilities fared better in this category. Short-term care ratings are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a vast range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 7.1 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Our nursing score analyzes several subcategories, however, the paramount consideration is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades.
