An A+ in this category is one of the highest complements we can pay to a facility. Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area typically have few of these severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L.

Another reason we rated this facility so highly is that it was given an A+ short-term care score. This is just about as good as it gets in this category. Our short-term care grades are important for prospective residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. This place is the gold standard when it comes to skilled nursing staffing. It offered roughly 1.5 times as many physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than a typical nursing home.

This is one of the most highly highly trained levels of nurses. This is one of the higher totals of nursing hours we found at any facility.

It performed as well as any nursing home in the state in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
