Based on our ratings, this facility has quite a bit going for it. We were also pleased to find that this nursing home didn't have any weak links in any of the four major categories. More information about these categories can be found below.

This nursing home received a quality overall score as described above, but we especially want to emphasize its nearly flawless inspections in recent years. We awarded it an impressive grade of A in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite insignificant. 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.

Among this facility's other accomplishments is its high-end long-term care grade. We gave them one of our most favorable scores in that category, with a score of A. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. This nursing home really excelled in this area.

This facility also was awarded a favorable short-term care grade. Indeed, we gave it an above average score of B in this category. In the area of short-term care, we strive to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. We were extremely impressed to discover that this facility offers its patients substantially more physical therapist hours than most other nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Turning to the fourth area, this facility was awarded an acceptable nursing score. Although this was not as elite as a few of its other category grades, this is really not the end of the world. Our nursing score is mostly based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. With 4.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home surpassed the vast majority of facilities. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this metric. Avoiding serious falls is usually a good indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
