To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. 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.

This facility received high scores in the category of short-term care as well. As a result, we gave it one of our most elite scores in that category with a area of A-. Our short-term care scores are important for residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Remarkably, this facility provides its patients at least one and a half times as many physical therapist hours per week than a typical nursing home. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that it outperformed the vast majority of nursing homes in the country in this area with 65.4 percent of its patients returning home.

This facility's next highest area is its long-term care score, where it was awarded a grade of B-. Long-term care grades focus on a facility's assistance with daily living rather than the skilled therapy or healthcare services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. After looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. We were not able to track down information about this nursing home's vaccination rates. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

The final area we rated was nursing. This facility received a grade of B- for the area. Our nursing rating is primarily tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. Based on the CMS data, this nursing home offers 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed admirably in this metric. Avoiding major falls is usually a good indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Some falls can be prevented if a facility offers enough nurses to assist its residents.
