Nurse Quality
To pair with its strong overall grade, this facility earned a grade of B+ for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. Our nursing grade focuses on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 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 nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, this nursing home also was awarded favorable long-term care scores in our assessment. Indeed, we gave them one of our stronger scores in that area, with a score of B+. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are well cared for.

This nursing home vaccinated 97.797356 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is far higher than the vast majority of nursing homes.

Facility Inspections
Adding to its strong resume, this facility earned a grade of B for its inspections rating. This is a well above average score in this category. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to our fourth category, this facility was given a decent short-term care score of B-. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
