Facility Inspections
To go along with its favorable overall score, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Our inspection ratings account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this category usually 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.
Long-term Care Quality
Among its many elite scores, this facility was given first-rate long-term care grade. In fact, it received a grade of A in that area. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy.

Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

On the other hand, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final datapoint we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
