The main reason this facility received a decent overall score is its impeccable health inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better scores in that category, with an A+. This is a much better grade than the place's overall score, which was decent but not in the elite range. Inspection scores are tied to many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this area have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home received 2 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.

Nursing scores are primarily tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This place provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure as it is well below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics. While this facility got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of these quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this subcategory. This can be an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by having a system of turning a resident at least once a day.
