Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a great overall score, this nursing home earned an A+ inspection rating. This is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. An A+ in this category is one of the best complements we can pay to a facility. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. 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
To complement its first-rate accomplishments in other areas, we awarded this facility a grade of A for its long-term care score. Facilities that do well in long-term care tend to provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care.

This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents, which is significantly higher than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

This facility is also above average in the category of short-term care, where it was awarded a grade of B+. It performed better than most nursing homes in this category. In the area of short-term care, we strive to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. We weren't able to locate registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. The last datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
The next category we graded was nursing. We awarded this facility one of our more favorable grades in that category, with a B. Although this wasn't as strong as many of its other scores, it is still a positive grade. Our nursing rating focuses on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of training of the nurses and the number of hours spent with residents. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
