Facility Inspections
In addition to being a strong nursing home overall, it also received A+ inspections recently. Its inspections were nearly perfect. Our inspection grades weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this category tend to have few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat 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 gave this facility a grade of A+ for its short-term care grade. In our short-term care grade, we try to forge a fair gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze a nursing home's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 6.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

In the final category we looked at, this nursing home received a very favorable grade of A- in our long-term care category. With this score, the nursing home finished off a straight A report card. Facilities that excel in long-term care tend to provide patients with more supervision and stay on top of routine medical care.

This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations.
