This nursing home was better in some categories than others, but it did not have any poor grades in any of our major categories discussed below. More information about these categories can be found below.

The primary reason this nursing home received a decent overall grade is its impeccable inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our higher grades in that category, with a grade of A. This is a notably better score than the place's overall grade, which was decent but certainly not elite. Our inspection scores are based on several datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this category typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This place was hit with 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

This facility's long-term care grade ended up being one of its higher grades. The nursing home was given a B- in this area. In determining these long-term care scores, we quantify the facility's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. One of the statistics we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Lastly, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this facility had 2.2 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this figure was not quite as favorable than its other scores in the long-term care area.

One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of C. Our nursing score focuses on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of training of the nurses and the quantity of hours spent with residents. This facility provided 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also considered quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home was above average in many of the major metrics we focus on, including minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Our final category is short-term care, in which we gave this facility a grade of C in that area. In the area of short-term care, we strive to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. When we looked at this facility's physical therapist hours, we found it offered more hours of physical therapy per day to its residents than most nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents that were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 40.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually below the national average.
