In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this facility received an A+ inspection grade. This grade is based on the facility's recent government inspections. An A+ in this category is one of the highest complements we can pay to a facility. Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area typically have few of these severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L.

Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Another reason we rated this facility so highly is that it was given an A+ short-term care score. This is just about as good as it gets in this category. Our short-term care grades are important for prospective residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. This place offered more physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. In addition to excelling in the area of physical therapy hours, we found that it performed as well as just about any facility in the nation with 67.5 percent of its patients returning home.

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A in our nursing category. Nursing scores are based largely on quality and quantity of nursing care. This place provides an incredible 4.2 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Out of that total, many of the hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the more highly trained levels of nurses. On top of offering impressive levels of care, this place was also above average in several of the major quality-based metrics we looked at in this category. For example, it performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. These datapoints are generally good indicators of the quality of nursing care a nursing home provides.

Turning to the final category, this nursing home was awarded an extremely favorable long-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A in this category, rounding out a straight A profile.
