Awards
Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our long-term care grade. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 99.433426 percent of its patients, which is significantly higher than the average nursing home. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
This facility also excelled in inspections. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- for that area, which is one of our best grades. This is one of the few nursing homes with an overall score in this range which earned multiple category grades this high. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. This wasn't quite on par with some of its other category grades mentioned above. We weighed the licensure of nurses working for the nursing home, as well as the quantity of time the nurses worked with residents, in determining our score in this area. This place provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a much lower figure than we were hoping for. Lastly, nursing grades also consider quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this place performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually a good indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses aids to assist its residents.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we graded is short-term care. We awarded this facility a C in that area. Short-term care ratings are crucial for prospective residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This means a vast scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this facility provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below the national average.
