This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections
We also awarded this nursing home a grade of B- for our inspections rating. This is a very respectable nursing score. We believe that one of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially focus on the severity of the deficiencies. This place received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the last category, this nursing home was given a respectable long-term care grade of B-. For prospective patients seeking a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this facility administered the vaccine to a relatively low 85.07463 percent of its patients. Nevertheless, this place excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
