In determining our nursing grades, we assess both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of those nurses. This facility offers extremely high levels of nursing care, averaging 4.8 hours per patient daily. This is more nursing care than nearly any other nursing home provides. Lastly, this nursing home also excelled in several quality-based metrics we looked at. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the nation in this category.

This nursing home is also above average in the category of long-term care, where it was awarded a score of B+. It performed better than most facilities in this area. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services.

This facility vaccinated 95.821724 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is too frequently a life or death condition for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't leave this to chance. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. While it had 1.72 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic was better than most facilities due to it having more complex patients.
