Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a strong overall score, this nursing home 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 offer a facility. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. 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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
We also would like to emphasize the fact that this nursing home was awarded a high-end grade of A- in our long-term care area. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it generally means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. After assessing the very impressive nursing care provided by this facility, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 97.46479 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the majority of nursing homes. The last statistic we assessed is the facility's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this facility had 3.78 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. While this wasn't as impressive as some of its other scores in this area, this number may be skewed for some nursing homes due to the preexisting medical conditions of residents.

The final area we assessed is nursing, where this nursing home was given a grade of B. Even though this proved to be its worst category score, this is nevertheless an above average grade. Our nursing score consists of a handful of factors, however, the primary one is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides an incredible 4.1 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is much more care than what is offered by most nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at.

Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
