In doing so, we analyze the facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy.

Facility Inspections
Another quality feature of this nursing home is its inspection score. In that category, we awarded this nursing home an A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we scored was long-term care, where this nursing home was awarded a grade of A-. This topped off a very impressive report card. Not many nursing homes earned an A- or better in all four categories. Facilities that excel in this category tend to provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. Once we assessed the amount of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia can be a deadly ailment for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility does not take any chances. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
