Facility Inspections
On top of being a great nursing home overall, it also earned A+ inspections recently. Its inspections were nearly flawless. Our inspection scores weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this area usually have few severe deficiencies. This facility was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was superb in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of A. Not many facilities performed better in this area. Our short-term care ratings are critical for patients needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final statistic we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 7.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Moving on to our last category, this nursing home received an extremely favorable long-term care rating. In fact, we gave it a B+ in that category, finishing off one of our more impressive report cards. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services.

This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly is often a life threatening health condition for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a nursing home doesn't leave this to chance.
