Awards
Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. The nursing score considers a number of datapoints. The most heavily weighted variable is the number of hours nurses spend with residents. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
In addition, this facility was given strong marks in the area of short-term care. As a result, it received one of our most impressive grades in that category with a grade of A+. Our short-term care grades are probably more meaningful for patients needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 7.3 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Facility Inspections
This facility has had near flawless inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Our inspection ratings account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this category tend to have few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
In our final category, we gave this nursing home an A- for its long-term care rating. This wrapped up a very impressive profile. Nursing homes that do well in this category tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. After considering the amount of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is often a life threatening condition for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility does not leave this to chance. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
