Our nursing rating analyzes the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of licensure of the nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients.

This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

This nursing home's inspection grade exceeded its overall score as well. We gave them one of our better grades in that category, with a B. Our inspection scores are tied to datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspections. Places that receive favorable grades in this area tend to have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This particular nursing home received 10 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

This nursing home's third best area was short-term care. We awarded it a B- in this category. This is basically a middle of the pack score in this category. Our short-term care scores are meaningful for people in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. This means a wide range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. We were surprised to find that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. The facility supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we considered the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 5.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below the national average.

The last area we looked at was long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a C in this area. For prospective residents in need of a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. After considering the volume of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 92.15686 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
