Facility Inspections
On top of being an elite nursing home overall, this facility also performed well in our inspections category, where it received a grade of A+. Very few places performed as well in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. This nursing home was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to create an immediate 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
This nursing home received an impressive long-term care grade as well. We gave it one of our better grades in that area with a score of B+. Facilities that do well in long-term care tend to provide patients with more supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. After looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. While this wasn't quite as good as some of its other category grades, this isn't a bad score either. In determining our nursing scores, we factor in both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day, which is well below average. Finally, although this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this subcategory.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we rated was short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a solid score in that category, with a B-. While this wasn't as high as many of this facility's other grades, it is still not a bad grade. Our short-term care grade is commonly used to measure a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to provide good rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The last metric we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
