We also wanted to point out the fact that this nursing home has received near flawless government inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This high end facility also performed well in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of A+. Only a small group of nursing homes performed better in this area. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure residents are well cared for.

The last area we assessed was short-term care, where this facility was awarded a B+. This topped off a first-rate profile. Very few nursing homes received a B+ or higher in each of our categories. With our short-term care assessment, we attempt to forge a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze a nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last measure we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
