Nurse Quality
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ nursing grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. Nursing grades are heavily correlated with levels of nurse staffing. This place provided 6.9 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, which is among the highest totals in the country. A significant portion of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are one of the most skilled levels of nurses. We are really impressed by these figures. On top of offering impressive levels of care, this place also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In terms of the percentage of its patients suffering falls leading to major injury, this facility performed as well as any nursing home the country.

Few nursing homes with an overall grade in this range performed this well in multiple categories. Our inspection scores are based on several items located in the a nursing home's inspection reports.

Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

In computing these short-term care ratings, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals.

Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our fourth area, this nursing home was awarded a respectable long-term care grade. Although this isn't nearly as elite as some of its other scores, this is truly not a poor grade. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. Even though we determined this facility had an impressive amount of nursing hours provided by nurses and other nursing staff, we found its vaccination rate to be somewhat below average. It provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 86.548225 percent of its residents. This is one statistic we would like to see this facility improve on. On a more positive note, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
