This nursing home performed well in our nursing category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. There are many criteria within this area. Most of these subcategories relate to staffing levels. This nursing home offers an impressive 4.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is among the more impressive figures in the country.

In addition, this facility received a very good government inspection report this year as well. For this reason, it earned one of our higher grades in that category with a B. Our inspection scores account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this category tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. This facility was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to patient health or safety.

The next category we graded is long-term care. This facility was awarded a strong long-term care score in our assessment, with a C. While this is not nearly as good as many of its other grades, this remains a respectable grade for this category. Our long-term care ratings are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of nursing services. This means a vast scope of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine medical services.

It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
