Facility Inspections
On top of being a first rate nursing home overall, this nursing home also excelled in our inspections category, where it earned an A+. Very few facilities fared as well in this area. Our inspection scores account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area generally have few of these severe deficiencies. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like we were able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also received an A+ for its short-term care score. In our short-term care grade, we attempt to craft a sound measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at the facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 6.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Our nursing score assesses many datapoints, however, the primary consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home averages 0.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as having a system of moving a resident more frequently.
Long-term Care Quality
In our final category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our long-term care rating. This finished off a very impressive profile. Facilities that receive this type of grade in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are well cared for. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We weren't able to find this facility's vaccination rates. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
