Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area typically have few of these severe deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered severe. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not something to panic about.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. Nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we awarded this nursing home an A-. The nursing score includes several factors. The most heavily weighted one is the amount of time nurses spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided 4.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This was one of the better figures we found. In addition, a significant percentage of this care was provided by registered nurses, which are highly skilled nurses. On top of looking at levels of nursing care, we also looked at a few quality measures in determining our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these areas as predictive indicators of the quality of nursing care offered, since better care tends to reduce these problems.

With our short-term care assessment, we attempt to create a fair measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at the facility's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. This nursing home elevated its grade in this category by offering more care from registered nurses to its residents than the average facility. The final metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This place performed better than most facilities in this area with 53.2 percent of its patients returning home. With most facilities, less than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's weakest area is long-term care, which is the last category we assessed. In this category, we awarded this facility a grade of D. We want to to draw your attention to this possible weakness, but you should not over-emphasize a single bad area either. When facilities receive this kind of score in long-term care it is a bad sign for resident care and it may indicate that the place is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. This facility's vaccination data were not as strong as its nursing hours data. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 73.52941 percent of its residents. We'd love to see some improvement in this area in the future. Surprisingly, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.59 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
